New Delhi: The Indian cricket team's best opening pair at the moment will be back in the fray today. The pair is between openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. Dhawan is returning to Team India after five months. Today, Dhawan will play the first match of the three-match ODI series against England.
This match is going to be very special for Dhawan, as it will be the 150th ODI of his career. With this, Dhawan has a golden opportunity to make this match even more memorable. In fact, Dhawan has the opportunity to join the club of master blasters Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly along with Rohit Sharma. In fact, in the ODI career so far, the duo of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have scored a total of 4994 runs in 111 matches. If in this ODI against England, this pair gets 6 more runs, then the total of this pair will be 5000 runs. In such a situation, the Dhawan-Rohit opening pair will become the second Indian pair to score 5,000 runs.
In this case, the opening pair of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly is at the top. Together, they have added a total of 6609 runs in 136 ODIs.
