The iconic opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan enjoyed huge success for India National Cricket Team together in the white-ball cricket. From 2013 to 2022, it was a decade full of dominance as their partnership won many games for the team.
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan opened in 115 ODIs together and scored 5148 runs at an average of 45.55 to go with 18-century partnerships. They only had West Indies' Gordon Greenidge-Desmond Haynes (5150 runs), Australia's Adam Gilchrist-Matthew Hayden (5327 runs), and India's Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly (6609 runs) ahead of them in the number of runs scored as pair.
“This opening pair decision was made half a day before that match. At that time, I was also new, and I was in my world. I had made a comeback and needed to perform well. But MS Dhoni took this decision and instructed Rohit to open,"
