The impeccable record of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli

The duo has a record which is incomparable with any pair who have played in history. They have had more partnerships in ODIs than in Tests. In the 80 ODI innings in which they have batted together, they have accumulated 4878 runs which put them seventh on the all-time list of batting pairs in ODI cricket. 

Interestingly, their partnership average of 65 is better than any pair with more than 4,000 runs together in the history of ODI cricket. They have had 16 centuries partnerships while 14 other 50+ stands together. Whenever the two have scored runs together, India has often found ways to beat the opposition. 

The two are at the moment competing in the first Test against England in Chennai. England won the toss and elected to bat first. At the time of writing this, England was at 387 for 3, with their skipper Joe Root batting brilliantly on 168. Vice-captain Ben Stokes was also at the crease having been batting on 82. For India, Ravichandran Ashwin got the first scalp early on day one while Jasprit Bumrah took the other two wickets.
