10 Most Prolific Indian Batting Pairs in Test Cricket History

#2 Gautam Gambhir - Virender Sehwag

The duo was deadly when it came to opening the batting for India

One of the most prolific opening pairs in the history of cricket, the duo of Delhi Boys, Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag, occupies the runner-up spot on this list.

This left hand-right hand combination was India's first choice opening pair for almost eight years between 2004 and 2012, and the duo played a vital role in a number of victories for the team by giving important starts at the top of the inning.

Having batted together in 87 innings, the duo scored a cumulative total of 4412 runs at an outstanding average of 52.52.

In fact, there was a time around 2009-10 when these two were the best two opening batsmen in the whole world. In addition to that, the two batsmen have shared 11 century-plus stands, which includes a personal best stand of 231 runs, and 25 other 50+ scores to their name.
