Stats: India's highest partnership for each wicket in Tests

9th wicket - Nana Joshi and Ramakant Desai - 149

A century by the great Hanif Mohammad and Saeed Ahmed in the first innings meant that Pakistan had the upper hand in the first Test at Mumbai on Pakistan's tour to India in 1960. The Indian side had slid to 300-8, when Nana Joshi and Ramakant Desai, coming in at No.8 and No.9, played brilliant rearguard knocks of 52 and 85 respectively to push the score close to 450, combining for a record 149 runs together.

The declaration came soon, but by then, the game had already ambled towards a draw, despite the first-ball duck from Hanif Mohammad at the hands of Desai, the top-scorer in the first innings.

The match was, incidentally, Joshi's last for Team India.
