All teams expect their top order to give a good start. If they fail then it is the turn of the middle order to develop a partnership and then increase the scoring rate. There have instances when even small partnership lower down the wicket also help in reaching a good target or chase down one. Let us take a look at the highest partnerships on every wicket in this season of Indian Premier League –

| 1st | 123 | Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum | CSK | KXIP | Abu Dhabi | 18 April, 2014 |

| 3rd | 116 | Cheteshwar Pujara, Glenn Maxwell | KXIP | RR | Sharjah | 20 April, 2014 |
| 4th | 115 | Glenn Maxwell, David Miller | KXIP | CSK | Abu Dhabi | 18 April, 2014 |

| 10th | 20 | Dhawal Kulkarni, Pravin Tambe | RR | CSK | Dubai (DSC) | 23 April, 2014 |
First 5 wickets have seen 100+ partnership as the best one but after that there is no big partnership that has been played. While CSK has managed to have a good opening pair, other teams are yet to get a consistent performance from their openers.
