However, Rohit Sharma was also quick to point out the qualities Shikhar Dhawan brings to the fore, mentioning that it allowed the former the requisite time to settle himself before going after the bowlers.
The Indian cricket team opener also highlighted Dhawan’s propensity to pierce the field on the off-side and how the left-hander specialized in getting the Indian cricket team off to a brisk start in the PowerPlay.
Rohit and Shikhar are the 2nd most successful Indian cricket team opening pair
Over the past few years, the Indian cricket team pair has established itself as one of the premier opening partnerships across the globe. To put things into perspective, the duo has put on 4802 runs while batting together in 107 ODI innings for the Indian cricket team.
Out of those, they’ve gotten the Indian cricket team off to wonderful starts on numerous occasions, which include 16 century stands and 14 fifty-run partnerships. So far, the highest partnership Rohit and Shikhar have conjured for the Indian cricket team is a 210-run stand, with that coming against Pakistan in the Asia Cup in 2018.
Additionally, the pair is the second most successful Indian opening partnership ever, whereas they are statistically the 4th best ever in the world.
