#8. Shikhar Dhawan-Ajinkya Rahane
The trio of Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan have been a pillar at the top of the order for the Indian ODI team for over 6 years now, and, no matter which pair among the trio plays at the top, they have always scored runs for the team. Even though Rahane is now batting at number 4 for India, his partnership with Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order has been nothing short of spectacular and the two have won many a number of matches for the team.
Opening the batting for India in 18 innings, the Rahane-Dhawan pair has pilled up 1153 runs at an astounding average of 64.05, the highest among any international pair with over 1000 runs. The duo have 5 century plus stands, which includes a memorable 231 runs stand against Sri Lanka, as well as 3 other 50+ stands. These two have always managed to give India impressive starts in the limited opportunities given to them.
