Speaking about his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma said, "We know each other since long and have a good understanding... I have always enjoyed batting with Shikhar, I am sure it's the same for him too." The Dhawan-Rohit opening pair went past the opening duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag as they notched up their 14th century stand.
