The sixth-wicket partnership of 158 runs between Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni against Zimbabwe in the last league match of the Videocon Cup tri-series is India's best for this wicket in ODIs.

They bettered the unbroken 132-run stand between Rahul Dravid and Mohammad Kaif against Pakistan last year.

The following table lists the highest sixth wicket partnerships for India in One-Day Internationals:

Runs Batsmen Vs Venue Season
158 Yuvraj Singh M S Dhoni Zim Harare 2005-06
132* R Dravid M Kaif Pak Lahore 2003-04

102 H Badani R S Sodhi Zim Rajkot 2000-01
101 R S Sodhi S Dighe WI Harare 2001

The Yuvraj-Dhoni partnership is also the second highest partnership for the sixth wicket in ODIs. The pair just missed to expunge the 161 run-partnership between Kenyans Maurice Odumbe and Alpesh Vadher against Sri Lanka in 1999.

The following table lists best sixth-wicket partnerships of all time in one-day internationals:
