Shikhar Dhawan-Rohit Sharma surpasses Sachin-Sehwag record:

In the recently concluded 2nd ODI against Kiwis, both the openers,  surpassed the legendary Indian duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, as they notched up their 14th 100-run partnership. Throughout their career, Sachin and Sehwag had recorded 13 100-run partnerships among themselves.

Overall, Sharma and Dhawan are 4th in the list of maximum 100-run opening stands. The maximum was achieved by Tendulkar along with Sourav Ganguly, who both stitched 21 100-run partnerships among themselves.

Australia’s Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist are at the 2nd position in the list with 16 100-run partnerships between themselves. The West Indies duo Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes are at the third position in the list.

Going by the current form, both the individual could reach the top of the list. They are in splendid form and have got quite a few years under their belt as well to set a new benchmark.
