#5 Rohit Sharma - Virat Kohli: 62.45 runs/partnership
Rohit Sharma is one of the best limited-overs cricketers in the world right now. He is the only batsman to have scored three double centuries in ODI cricket. His highest score of 264 might remain at the top the record books for quite a long time.
Now, what do you think will happen when such a talented cricketer bats with probably the current best batsman across all formats? The answer is simple - a lot of runs will be scored between the two.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma share a great bond in the middle of the pitch. The duo have scored 3685 runs in 63 matches. They are the only currently active batting pair with more than 3000 runs with a partnership average in excess of 60. They have put together 14 century and 9 half-century partnerships.
The highest partnership between the two came last year in a series decider against New Zealand in Kanpur. After losing Shikhar Dhawan early, they stitched a partnership of 230 runs and helped India post a total of 337 in 50 overs. Thanks to the huge partnership, India managed to win the match by 6 runs and the series by a 2-1 margin.
Innings: 63, Runs: 3685, Averages: 62.45, 100s: 14, 50s: 9
