Stats - day one -second test India vs Sri Lanka

Snippet from cricinfo:

The first couple of sessions on the opening day was almost entirely about Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, and their 233-run opening partnership. It's only the ninth 200-plus opening partnership for India, and the third highest. Sehwag and Gambhir became the first Indian pair to get two century stands for the first wicket - their earlier such effort had come at the same venue almost exactly five years ago, when they added 218 against South Africa in a high-scoring draw in November 2004. In fact, Sehwag has been involved in five of those nine doubles - Sanjay Bangar, Rahul Dravid and Wasim Jaffer have been his other partners.
The Sehwag-Gambhir pair is fast climbing the rungs among the all-time opening pairs. During the course of this stand they went past the aggregates of a couple of English pairs - Trescothick-Vaughan and Atherton-Gooch - and are 12th in terms of partnership runs by opening pairs. Among Indian pairs, Sunil Gavaskar and Chetan Chauhan have scored more, but they are only 506 runs in front. Sehwag and Gambhir are also one of only 12 pairs - and the first Indians - to have two or more double-century stands for the opening wicket.
Among opening pairs with at least 2000 partnership runs, only four pairs average more than Sehwag and Gambhir's 59.61.
