7 best ODI partnership duos in the world right now

#3 Shikhar Dhawan - Ajinkya Rahane: 65.58 runs/ partnership

The last Indian pair in this list is Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane, not Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. Rohit and Dhawan missed a place in the list as they average less than 50 in spite of being one of the most dangerous opening batting pairs in the world.

On the other hand, Dhawan and Rahane have an average of 65.58 per partnership. They have scored 1574 runs together including seven century and five half-century partnerships. The very fact that the number of century partnerships put together by them is more than the half-century partnerships shows that they enjoy each others company in the middle.

Dhawan and Rahane had a great run opening the partnership. Of the 24 times they batted together, they did not open the innings only 6 times. Even in those six innings, they put up two-century partnerships and one half-century partnership.

Even though Rahane is out of the Indian limited overs setup right now, with the kind of talent that he possesses, a partnership between this duo might be handy in the times to come.

Innings: 24, Runs: 1574, Averages: 65.58, 100s: 7, 50s: 5
