India vs Pakistan in T20 internationals is always high-voltage. Over the years, some iconic partnerships have shaped the results of these matches. From dominant opening stands to pressure chases, here’s a look at the highest partnerships in India–Pakistan T20I matches.
The highest partnership in India–Pakistan T20Is belongs to Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.

In the 2022 T20 World Cup, India pulled off one of the greatest chases in T20 history.
Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya added 113 runs together under immense pressure. Kohli’s unbeaten 82 remains one of the finest T20 World Cup knocks. This partnership changed the momentum and helped India seal a thrilling win.
Back in 2012, experienced campaigners Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez built a solid 106-run partnership against India.
Their stand stabilized Pakistan’s innings and proved how crucial middle-order partnerships can be in tense India–Pakistan contests.
In 2025, young Indian batters Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma added 105 runs in a T20 clash against Pakistan.
This partnership highlighted India’s strong new-generation batting lineup and showed how fearless stroke play is shaping modern T20 cricket.
