Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have together played a big role in helping Indian become one of the top ODI teams in the world over the past 5 years and the duo continue to break new ground together. On Tuesday the pair gave India a flying start in the second ODI against Australia at Adelaide, putting together 47 runs as the team chased a tough target of 299 runs.

While doing so Rohit and Dhawan became only the fourth opening pair in the history of one-day internationals to complete 4000 partnership runs. They thus became the second India pair after Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly to reach the milestone.
