Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma Top 3 partnerships in IND vs SL matches:
- 219 runs at Colombo in 2017: After electing to bat first in the 4th ODI at the Premadasa Stadium, Kohli and Rohit piled up a humongous 2019 run stand to take India to 375 runs. Both batters ended their innings with a strike rate of over 110, taking India to 225 runs in just 30 overs. Their innings helped India get a 168-run win as they whitewashed the hosts 5-0.
- 202 runs at Eden Gardens in 2014: This match is remembered for Rohit Sharma’s record-breaking 264 runs but amidst that, the two stitched a beautiful 202-run partnership to take India to 404. While Kohli only made 66 runs, his innings helped Rohit reach the highest individual score by a batter in ODI history.
- 154 runs at Bulawayo in 2010: Their first and arguably their best stand against Sri Lanka in ODIs. Both players were still young in their careers and were out to make their mark in international cricket. After losing their openers for 47, Rohit and Virat showed their might, chasing down 243 runs with ease. India eventually chased the total with 39 balls to spare and 7 wickets in hand.
