Shikhar Dhawan-Rohit Sharma achieves new ODI milestone, surpasses legendary duo record

Indian opening pair Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan with their 154-run opening partnership for India during the 2nd One-day International. The duo went past the iconic Sachin Tendulkar-Virender Sehwag.

The legendary duo Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag had 13 century stand to their name, now Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma brought up their 14th-century stand.

Rohit scored 87 of 96-balls and Dhawan made 66 of 67-balls. In the second ODI between India versus New Zealand on Saturday, India skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat.

While India remained unchanged, New Zealand has made a couple of changes in their playing eleven as Ish Sodhi and Colin de Grandhomme replace Michael Santner and Tim Southee, respectively.

India leads the series 1-0 as India won the first ODI by eight wickets, after chasing a revised 156-run target in Napier.
