India defeated Zimbabwe in the fourth T20 match thanks to a brilliant opening partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Shubman Gill. Jaiswal and Gill together shared an unbeaten 156-run partnership to easily achieve Zimbabwe’s target of 153 runs.

This brilliant partnership ensured a convincing win for India in just 15.2 overs. This is also the second-highest run-chase partnership for India in T20I history. As a result, the visitors have now taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20I series on the back of a stunning 10-wicket win.

The two have batted brilliantly together and have forged not one but two great partnerships in this format. On that note, let’s take a look at the top five biggest partnerships for India while chasing targets in T20.

Here’s Top 5 highest partnerships for India in a chase

5. Virat Kohli and Manish Pandey (119 vs Sri Lanka, 2017)

In the one-off T20I against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2017, the hosts batted first and posted a tricky total of 170/7 on the board. The visitors were under some pressure after losing both their openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul during the chase. However, the visitors were able to recover with then-skipper Virat Kohli at the crease.

Kohli, known as the ‘Chase Master’, displayed his class by performing at his best under pressure. He scored 82 runs in 54 balls and crossed the 150-run mark. Manish Pandey joined him at number four and scored an unbeaten 51 runs in 36 balls. The duo shared a 119-run partnership and eventually India won the match by seven wickets.
