At last after 52 years the record for highest First wicket partnership in test cricket which was held by the Indian openers Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy has been broken.They together made a mammoth partnership of 413 runs against New Zealand during 5th Test held in Chennai on January 7, 1956.On 1st March 2008 South African Openers Graeme Smith and Neil MCKenzie have surpassed that mark and have set new world record of 415 runs before Smith got out . South African team is touring Bangladesh now. Both the openers made Centuries and added 10 runs to their over night score to acheive this milestone.
Earlier in 2006 when India was touring Pakistan , Virendra Sehwag and Rahul Dravid came close to break the record of Mankad and Roy but unfortunately fell short by three runs. But now the record which was long held by the Indians is now owned by South Africans.
In the mean time Mankand's son has expressed his disappointment over this record break..........
Will India regain its old glory????????????/
All Indians are hoping for that to happen.............
