Tendulkar/Gangully or Hayden/Gilchrist or Gambhir/Sehwag?

Question

Who were/are the best in the modern era?any other good regular opening pair plz mention.

Answer 1

In modern era, it's Shewag / Gambhir. Look at their partnership runs this year. It's more than 600, amazing!

Answer 2

hayden and gilchrist can destroy any attack and take away the game from you in the first 10 overs.

i still have nightmares of gilchrist innings in the 2007 world cup finals.

Answer 3

Tendulkar/Gangully !!

Answer 4

i think hayden and gilly also but deserving are ganguly and tendulkar

Answer 5

Tendulkar/Ganguly opening pair was the best of all times-not only in the modern era.

Check out the stats:

Sachin Sourav pair is by far the best opening pair in ODI cricket. The record for the maximum runs scored by the opening pair is still held by Ganguly and Tendulkar. The duo has scored 6271 runs together in 128 matches, as openers in ODI. They have shared a 100 run partnership 20 times, and a fifty run partnership 21 times. The 20 century partnerships that they have put up together, still remains a unbroken world record. No other pair is near to them.

Answer 6

Tendulkar/Gangully  for test matches

Hayden/Gilchrist  for odi matches~

Answer 7

hey cmmon, u cant select the best out of these 3, infact the pair of sehwag n gambhir has jst started n u cant compare them with the other two

hwevr, all these 3 pairs have many things in cmon, the way they (the openers) compliment each other, the way they take their teams to fliers, n all of them laid a strong base 4 the coming batsmen

sachin/dada have opened from 1992to 2007 and have added 8227 runs in 176 inings at an average of 49 with 31 century partnerships this complete record is a record in itself

nxt is gil/hayden, 117 innings,5000 odd runs,average of 47 and 16 century partnerships.......howzzztat 4 a record

n finally sehwag n gambhir,they are young n fresh but they need a lot to prove themselves

n until they do so, we can jst say that this is a very good pair that shapes up the future of indian cricket,bt still long way to go

personally, i feel tendulkar/ganguly is the best partnership. becoz australian team has alwaz been a good team with good batsmen to follow, that relieved pressure frm hayden / gilly, bt the pressure was gr8 on tendlkr/dada,, so they r still the best

Answer 8

of course hayden and gilchrist coz indian cricketors cannot b believed any day. if they play good crick in one game then will play worst in the next ten games!!! lack of consistency u know!!!!!!

Answer 9

Smith And Gibbs also good. but in mention above.. the Hayden and Gilly are best but tendulkar and ganguly are not far behind

Answer 10

As for now, Viru and Gauti are the best opening pair but dada & Tendulkar pair is the ever-green opening pair!

Answer 11

Tendulkar/Ganguly

Answer 12

My fav.- Sachin-Sourav opening combination but for the best, I'd say a tie between them & Gilly-Hayden

Answer 13

Best opening pair is Hayden/gilly. But Gambhir/Sehwag is now very popular. They can understand well every time, know when n where to pinch an single and when to go for shot. Above all they have good understanding.

Answer 14

Sachin/Sourav:Their strength as an opening pair, apart from the fact that they are brilliant stroke makers, lies in the point that one is a right-hander and the other a left-hander. This means that the bowlers have to constantly change their line of attack in order to adjust to the different styles. Another one of their strengths lies in their ability to play for each other and that's one of the most important principles of playing as a pair. Their special ability to hit even the good deliveries for boundaries makes them a daunting prospect for the opposition.

Both Sachin and Saurav have the gift of timing and when in full flow both are elegance personified. Shots flow from their bats like sweet music and even the best bowlers can only watch and admire. When in the mood, the two can be as destructive as dynamite with shots like bullets racing to the boundary at the rate of knots. It is this special ability to blend Elegance with brute force that makes this pair the hub of fans and experts the world over.

It’s not surprising that the duo has more than 20 century Opening partnerships in ODIs.

Answer 15

The stats speak for themselves.

1)Sachin/Sourav

2)Haydos/Gilly

3)Jaya/Kalu

4)Viru/Gauti

Viru/Gauti combo is fast becoming a fantastic opening pair.

The pair of Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharna also needs to be counted as one of the best opening pairs. Their aggressive batting made life miserable for other teams.

Answer 16

Tendulkar / Ganguly

Answer 17

Gambhir / Sewhag

Answer 18

Tendulkar / Ganguly by far because not only the world record for the best opening no.of centuries and run in the world, when they gave india a early start Ind  won 90% of their matches.With a team like australia where everybody in the middle order was/is reliable (Ponting, Husssey, Clarke, Synmonds), Hayden and Gilly came and try to smash opponents out of the match. But Tendulkar/ Ganguly had the class  and the ability to stay in the crease and dominate the bowling.

Answer 19

TENDULKAR/GANGULY... BECAUSE OF TENDULKAR>>

Answer 20

ur obviously looking at odi's so it would be tendulkar/ganguly. But if talking about test, odi's and 20/20's and about the future of cricket sehwag/gambhir can serve india in all formats successfully. But hayden and gilly were also very very good for aus in odi's

Answer 21

Tendulkar/Gangully, Gambhir/Sehwag They are best for India.

Hayden/Gilchrist,they are Best for Aussie.There is No comparison Between them.

Answer 23

Tendulkar/Gangully

Answer 24

HAYDEN/GILCHRIST

Answer 25

The good openers are Gambhir/Sehwag because they have scored more runs in one innings then the above two pairs so they are the BEST!!!

Answer 26

gambhir/sehwag cause they compliment each other very well . they compliment each other very well . they have good understanding between them as they play for the same state,zone,ipl team. they just make eye contacts and run quick singles.this helps as opening batsmen.

Tendulkar/Gangully- always

Gambhir/Sehwag - now
