5 best moments of the Indian cricket team in 2015

2015 has been a mixed year for Team India. While India have done reasonably well in Tests, they have struggled in ODIs. India had a great World Cup campaign but amidst the great optimism that Dhoni would lift the trophy again this year, there was heartbreak for India in the semi-finals.With the year drawing to a close and fans gearing up for a new year of endless cricket action, this is the best time to look back at some of India's best performances this year.Here are the 5 best moments of the Indian cricket team in 2015. 

#5 Partnership between Dhawan and Vijay in the Test match against Bangladesh

Murali Vijay-Shikhar Dhawan’s 283-run partnership was the second best opening partnership ever for India

Though Shikhar Dhawan has somewhat struggled for form in ODIs this year, this form in Tests has been reasonably good as he has scored 485 runs from 6 matches at an average of 53.88  this year. In the one-off Test against Bangladesh this year, Dhawan played one of his better Test innings scoring a majestic 137.

At the other end was Murali Vijay who had demonstrated great perseverance and application throughout the year. Vijay scored a brilliant 150 as the duo stitched together a crucial partnership of 283 runs for the opening wicket.

Vijay and Dhawan's partnership was undoubtedly one of the high points for India this year. Their 283-run partnership was a record against Bangladesh and India's second highest opening partnership after the one by Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag where they together scored 410 against Pakistan in 2006.
