Gautam Gambhir has said that the opening pair of him and Virender Sehwag is still the best opening pair in the world.Both the batsmen are under the knife of critics currently because of their poor performences in recent times.
"We still averages 53 as an opening pair,which I think as one of the best when it comes to opening the batting in world cricket.There are not many opening pairs who have played for such a long time and have an average of 53 per innings.And if 53 is not good enough,I don't know what is good enough",Gambhir told PTI.
He also added,"As an opening pair,you average 50 per inning and if you are giving 50 runs start in every innings,you can't do more and if people talks about contributing,I will suggest them to look at the stats."
The opening pair has failed to deliver in the recent series of India against Australia and England.At the tour of Australia,the pair's highest opening partnership was of just 26 runs.All the eyes will be on them,when they will open for the team against the England in upcoming home series.
