A solid opening partnership can break the opponent team's back and more often than not, win matches. Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal opened for India in the first Test against South Africa at Vishakhapatnam and created a record partnership. The opening pair scored a mammoth 317 runs before Rohit Sharma fell to a flighted delivery by South African left-arm off-spinner Keshav Maharaj.

We wondered where Sharma and Agarwal's partnership ranked in the list of highest opening wicket partnerships and after a little bit of number crunching, we found out that the partnership ranks 12th on the overall list.
