Watching Sachin Tendulkar opening the innings brought down the entire nation to a standstill, when Virender Sehwag started to open the innings with his role model, fans could not have asked for more. It was also the time when Tendulkar had evolved from an explosive opening batsman to a more matured player, dropping anchor to the innings and letting Sehwag to unleash upon the opposition.

The Master Blaster and the Najafgarh Nawab stand fourth in the list with 3919 runs from 93 innings. These both were the most explosive pair that opened in recent times. This duo powered India to 2003 and 2011 World Cup Finals. These scored at an average of 42.13 which included 12 Century and 18 Half-Century partnerships with a best of 182.
