#4 Rahul Dravid - VVS Laxman

The exploits of these two together on a cricket pitch are well documented. Two of the most determined cricketers in the history of Indian cricket, the two became famous for winning matches for India individually.
Whenever these two played together during their 16-year time as each other's teammates, the two always created magic with the bat and gave scares to the opposition bowlers.
The two played with each other in 86 innings between 1996 and 2012, in which the two piled up 4165 runs at a stunning average of 51.45.
The two were also part of 12 century-plus stands and 14 other 50+stands. However, the match that defines this duo is the memorable Kolkata Test between India and Australia in 2001, where these two piled up 376 runs and batted the whole fourth day to lay the foundation of India's victory.
