Indian batsmen involved in the most ODI century partnerships

For long, it has been a norm that batting partnerships are the catalyst in cricket, they are the cornerstone of the success a team aspires for.

Crucial stands for different wickets, more often than not, define the eventual score, which in turn translates into the result of the match.

Now, let us take a look at 5 prolific Indian batsmen involved in the most century partnerships in One Day Internationals.

#5 MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the hitch town hit man entered Indian cricket back in 2004 and has left such an everlasting impression that it will be difficult to emulate his feats in the near future.

The long-haired brash young man toned down not only in his appearance but along the way camouflaged into several roles, all the while winning matches for his side.

A leader with unparalleled pedigree, Dhoni has featured in as many as 47 century partnerships for India. This number assumes importance primarily due to the fact that he has spent a major chunk of his career playing in the lower order.

In his career, he has played 318 ODI matches so far and has scored 9967 runs at an average of 51.37.
