Bengaluru, Nov 12: KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer recorded the fourth-highest partnership of 208 runs for India in ODI World Cup history in the match against the Netherlands at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, here on Sunday.
It was also India’s first double-hundred stand in the ongoing World Cup.Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly hold the record, having scored a 318-run stand against Sri Lanka in 1999 in Taunton.In 2003, Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar made a 244-run stand against Namibia back in Pietermaritzburg.
Whereas, Rahul Dravid and Tendulkar scored 237 against Kenya in 1999 in Bristol. On the other hand, star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli bagged his first World Cup wicket against the Netherlands in the 45th match of the prestigious tournament at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.The 35-year-old picked up his maiden wicket after he dismissed Dutch skipper Scott Edwards in the 24.3 overs for 17 runs from 30 balls. Kohli bowled a wide down the leg but Edwards tried to take a run out of that loose delivery.
But it turned out to be a gift for the former ‘Men in Blue’ skipper as KL Rahul completed a brilliant catch to help Kohli get his first wicket in ODI World Cup history. (Agencies)
