#4 Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag

India v England: Group B - 2011 ICC World Cup
Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar's opening heroics helped India win 2011 world cup

One of the most entertaining pairs in cricket history, the Sachin-Sehwag duo played some wonderful innings together. The bowlers never had any answers for Sehwag's early onslaught as he and Sachin complemented each other in a spectacular fashion.

The duo enjoyed their most famous success at the 2011 Cricket World Cup when their opening heroics helped India post some really competitive totals. Albeit Sehwag got out for naught in the final at Wankhede, India still found a way to win the World Cup and this has to be the pair's favorite tournament together.

The Sachin-Sehwag duo scored 3745 runs at an average of 40.27 after opening the batting for the country in 93 innings.
