Stats: India's highest partnership for each wicket in Tests

6th wicket - Dileep Vengsarkar and Ravi Shastri - 298*

A year after pocketing the Champion of Champions award (and an Audi), Ravi Shastri came into the limelight once again, this time joining forces with Dileep Vengsarkar against Australia at Mumbai.

The match eventually ended in a draw, but not before the middle-order duo of Vengsarkar and Shastri (in a particularly belligerent mood, slamming 9 fours and six sixes) stacked up an unbeaten 298 runs together. Vengsarkar remained not out at 164 and Shastri at 121 when the side declared.

Shastri then came back to pick up two wickets, but the draw meant that the three-match series ended at 0-0.
