Rajneesh Gupta | September 05, 2005 13:46 IST

The sixth-wicket partnership of 158 runs between Yuvraj Singh [Images] and Mahendra Singh Dhoni [Images] against Zimbabwe in the last league match of the Videocon [Get Quote] Cup tri-series is India's best for this wicket in ODIs.

They bettered the unbroken 132-run stand between Rahul Dravid [Images] and Mohammad Kaif against Pakistan last year.

The following table lists the highest sixth wicket partnerships for India in One-Day Internationals:
