Highest Partnership in ODI
In any format of International Cricket, runs are made in partnerships by two players. When they build a huge partnership then it fires up the inning to a big total. A team put a huge total on the scoreboard when two batsmen knocked mammoth runs in pairs. Batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar, Chris Gayle, Saurav Ganguly, David Warner, Tamim Iqbal, Imam-ul-Haq, Q de Kock, Aamer Sohail, Yuvraj Singh and many more have already added huge runs with their partners in the past.
