10 Most Prolific Indian Batting Pairs in Test Cricket History

#8 Sunil Gavaskar - Dilip Vengsarkar

The pair had 11 century-plus partnerships

Just like Gavaskar's pairing with Chauhan, his pairing with fellow Mumbai teammate Dilip Vengsarkar was well documented during that era.

Two of the best Indian players in their own right, the duo played together 67 times in the 11 years between 1976 and 1987, and took India to a number of wins during that period.

The Mumbai duo piled up 3272 runs at an average of 50.33 while batting together. Their 11 century-plus stands were brilliantly complemented with nine other 50+ stands.

Their second-wicket stand of 344* against West Indies is the second best partnership for that wicket among Indian players.

Individually, or together, these two were the backbone of Indian batting in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
