3rd wicket – Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar – 237*
There was a reason why Sachin Tendulkar had so much respect in the cricketing world and his third consecutive appearance on this list signifies the same. Playing with Rahul Dravid against Kenya in the 1999 World Cup, Tendulkar added 237 runs for the third wicket. Both batsmen registered a hundred to guide India to a 94-run win.
4th wicket – Mohammad Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja – 275*
One of the best middle-order partnerships in one-day cricket history happened in 1998 when Ajay Jadeja and the then Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin blew away the Zimbabwean bowling attack. The duo stitched an unbeaten stand of 275 runs, helping India to a 32-runs victory.
5th wicket – Mohammad Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja – 223
The duo of Mohammad Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja was the cornerstone of the Indian ODI team in the 90s. The pair destroyed the bowling attack of world champions Sri Lanka in 1997, with a record stand of 223 runs for the fifth wicket. Unfortunately, a late collapse made sure that India lost the game by 2 runs.
