#6 Highest partnership in a game - 372 between Chris Gayle & Marlon Samuels in 2015

Gayle and Samuels scored 372 for the second wicket
Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels registered one of the most historic partnerships against Zimbabwe in the 2015 World Cup. West Indies won the toss and chose to bat first on a batting track.
Dwayne Smith was dismissed for a duck as a Tinashe Panyangara's in-dipper sent him back. The conditions were overcast and hence batsmen played out the initial overs. Having started slowly, Gayle got his hundred off 105 balls. He went berserk after that and became the first non-Indian to score a double hundred in ODIs. His final 115 runs came off just 41 balls.
West Indies' crisis man Marlon Samuels played the perfect fiddle for Gayle as he finished off with 133. Their partnership of 372 is the highest ever partnership for any wicket in ODIs. Although we have seen an increase in the scoring rate, this record might stand for a long time.
