Explanation

Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy held the record for highest first wicket partnership (413 runs) in Test cricket for over four decades, set against New Zealand in Chennai (then Madras) in 1956. This record stood until Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie broke it with their 415-run partnership in 2008. Bradman and Hobson, Sobers and Weekes are not the record holders.
