Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan surpassed Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, as the duo became the second most successful pair in terms of run scored in a partnership. The opening duo has, over the years, consistently delivered in the limited-overs format for the Men in Blue to establish their credentials as one of the best pairs in world cricket.
Rohit and Dhawan now have 4389 runs in ODIs as partners and are second to only Sachin and Sourav Ganguly, who amassed 8227 runs between them in ODIs. The current Indian opening pair left behind the prolific pair of Sehwag and Sachin, who scored 4387 runs between them in the fifty-over format.
Both Rohit and Dhawan have struggled with their form in the ongoing five-match series. However, on Sunday the duo got India off to a flyer smacking the Australian bowlers all around the park. The duo looked in great touch as they showed why they remain one of the most destructive opening pairs in the world.
