- Shikhar Dhawan – David Warner – 1711 runs:
The most underrated pair in the IPL till now averages an eye-popping 48.88 while opening the innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The two southpaws began their bond in the 2014 edition and since then have put up some mighty fine performances. The usual trend of this partnership lies in Warner attacking from the offset and going after the bowlers, while Dhawan bats through the innings and plays the anchor role. Both these gun batsmen amassed more than 500 runs each in the previous edition and played a bulky role behind the SRH’s IPL glory.
