Highest aggregate partnerships for each wicket in Test cricket

Fourth wicket

Pakistan's batting stars - Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan

The team is three down, and this is the time for the core of the middle order to step up. Batsmen batting at number four and five have entertained us with mammoth partnerships over the years for the fourth wicket. The Australian pair of Shaun Marsh and Adam Voges holds the record with the stand of 449 runs against West Indies in 2015. However, the aggregate record is claimed by a famous Pakistani pair.

In May 2017, an era came to an end in Pakistani cricket as two of its most prolific batsmen left the stage together. Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq called quits on their Test career in the Caribbean. Before" MisYou" departed the scene, they had totaled 3,138 runs for the fourth wicket. The pair boasted a phenomenal average of 69.73 and celebrated the 100-run partnership 15 times in their 51 knocks together.

Continuing the Asian domination, Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera occupy the second spot with 2,710 runs at an average of 61.59 with 10 century stands in just 46 innings. The Indian pair of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly is close third on 2,695 runs in 44 outings with 64.16 runs per partnership.
