IND vs ENG: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma break BIG Sachin Tendulkar-Virender Sehwag record

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have been India's regular ODI openers for almost eight years now. The attacking pair started opening together for India in the Champions Trophy 2013 and since then, there has been no looking back for the duo. After the retirement of legendary openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, the Indian team management had a tedious task of bringing in an opening pair who would bring a similar sort of skillset to the ODI format.

IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma-Shikhar Dhawan beat Sachin Tendulkar-Virender Sehwag's major opening record

The Men in Blue successfully managed to do so as Rohit and Dhawan have been highly successful together as India's opening pair. The two are currently a part of the ongoing the-match India vs England ODIs series. During the India vs England 1st ODI, Rohit and Dhawan stitched a 64-run partnership before the former was dismissed.

Notably, this was the Indian opening pair's 31st fifty-plus stand in ODI cricket for India. In doing so, Rohit and Dhawan overtook Indian veterans Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag who have 30 fifty-plus partnership in the 50-over format. Interestingly, both the set of openers hail from Mumbai and Delhi respectively.

The hosts will look to capitalize on the great start and post a total in excess of 350 against a formidable England batting lineup.
