1. SC Ganguly, SR Tendulkar (India):
Tendulkar and Ganguly are far by the best opening pair in ODIs. The start of golden era in Indian cricket cannot be thought of these two. Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly will be forever remembered as the most entertaining and successful opening pair. The right hand left hand combination worked brilliantly and the co-ordination between them was amazing.
At a time when the rules in ODI cricket were changing, Sourav Ganguly was one of the players who made most of the advantage of fielders inside the circle. Tendulkar and Ganguly sit at the top of the list of best opening pairs in ODI cricket with 6609 runs in 136 innings at an average of 49.32. They have 23 Half Century partnerships and a stunning 21 century opening partnerships, which is a world record, which will be impossible to break for a long time.
