Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra hammered England in the opening of the World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on October 5 (Thursday). Thanks to their performance, New Zealand gunned down a competitive target of 283 runs in just 37th over with a massive nine wickets in hand.

It was a comprehensive performance from the left-handed duo with the bat despite losing Will Young early in the innings. They added an unbeaten 273 for the second wicket which is the fourth-highest partnership in the history of the World Cup. In the process, they also went past the star Indian duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly who had added 244 runs for the second wicket against Namibia in the 2003 World Cup.

Marlon Samuels and Chris Gayle own the record of registering the highest partnership in the history of the World Cup. The duo had smashed 372 runs together against Zimbabwe in Canberra during the 2015 mega event. The next in this list is Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid who had notched up 318 runs against Sri Lanka in Taunton in the 1999 edition.
