🔥India's best opening pair in ODIs🔥
I tried balancing the no. of matches to the avgs the pairs have had using the ranking system. Filtering out pairs that have batted less than 10 inns for Ind, The ranks are as follows ⬇️while top 3 are obvious entries... 1⃣
how many of you are surprised by seeing @sachin_rt and #AjayJadeja at no. 4? Well? I'm not. Very few know (including me) that Sachin loved batting along side Jadeja since both loved talking alot when in pressure. Interestingly, Jadeja was also Sachin's first opening partner..2⃣
It was in 1994, Ind were playing NZ at Auckland. On the eve of the match, Sidhu was declared unfit. An eager young Tendulkar goes to Azhar and requests him to allow Sachin to open. Sachin scores 82 off 49 balls and a partnership of worth 61 with Jadeja... 3⃣
Later, these two went on to stitch 5💯s and 7 50 run partnerships together in the 22 inngs they played. The success % of 55 is the highest among the top 10 pairs as per calculation that is followed by Rohit and KL pair. Other noteworthy pairs are Sehwag-Gambhir, Dhawan-Rahane 4⃣
Manoj Prabhakar and Tendulkar, Sachin and Sehwag as well. 5⃣
