They managed 202 for a partnership before Kohli fell for 66, and then Rohit went on to make his legendary 264. This stand not only rescued India\u2019s innings but also laid the foundation for one of the greatest individual scores in ODI history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"India vs Sri Lanka 4th ODI Highlights 2013 Rohit sharma 264\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2xcRcwULPQg?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>4. 207 runs vs Australia, Perth (2016)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In tough conditions at Perth, Ro-Ko played a brilliant innings together. India lost an early wicket, but the pair steadied things and added 207 runs for the second wicket. Kohli scored 91, while Rohit remained unbeaten on 171. Though India didn\u2019t win the match, the partnership stood out for sheer quality of batting under tough conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"M01 India vs Australia ODI 2016 | Extended Highlight\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TzjZeczbF3A?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3. 219 runs vs Sri Lanka, Colombo (2017)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It came in tough conditions away from home. India lost an early wicket, but Ro-Ko steadied the innings and kept the team on track. They scored at more than seven an over and added 219 runs for the second wicket. Kohli made a strong century first, and Rohit followed with another well-crafted hundred. The pair showed they can do it even in difficult venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Watch<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/video\/x8w88nq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Match Highlights<\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2. 230 runs vs New Zealand, Kanpur (29 Oct 2017)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a tough game against New Zealand, Ro-Ko once again proved their strength under pressure. After losing an early wicket, they stitched 230 runs together for the second wicket. Rohit scored 147, Kohli 113, and India put up a big total of 337 for 6. Their partnership showed that even if the team loses early momentum, they can steady things and build a strong platform for victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rohit Sharma 147 vs New Zealand 2017 Kanpur Extended Highlights\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0uoyvZL5KjI?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1. 246 runs vs West Indies, Guwahati (21 Oct 2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India were set a tough target of 323 by West Indies. After an early wicket, Rohit and Kohli came together and tore apart the bowling. Rohit ended unbeaten on 152, Kohli made 140, and the duo added an astonishing 246 runs for the second wicket. India reached the target comfortably in just 42.1 overs. This partnership underlined how powerful the \u201cRo-Ko\u201d combo can be when set early and unbroken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rohit Sharma 152* (117) vs West Indies 1st ODI 2018 Guwahati (Ball By Ball)\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rcEacv9yNx8?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Why These Partnerships Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These partnerships were special because they came when India needed stability while chasing. Whenever Rohit and Kohli batted well together, India didn\u2019t just look to survive, they looked ready to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pair showed versatility: whether it was high-scoring conditions or difficult away pitches, they adapted and built momentum. Their partnerships frequently came after early wickets or pressure situations. This ability to absorb the shock and rebuild speaks to their calibre as batters. In all these matches, when the \u201cRo-Ko\u201d combo clicked, India almost always emerged victorious or reached a very competitive total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Written by: Manjunath<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The batting pair of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has often been India\u2019s go-to for building and finishing big run-chases in one-day internationals (ODIs).
