Rohit Sharma on verge of breaking THIS long standing record of Virat Kohli, Need just 134 runs to…

New Delhi: Rohit Sharma is on the verge of being the second quickest bats-man around the globe to achieve a respectable feat. He made his One Day International debut in 2007 and it wasn’t until the year 2013 that he cemented his position in the team. As of December 2021, Rohit has been the captain of Indian ODI team after succeeding Virat Kohli.

Currently, Rohit Sharma is in charge as India is all set to face England in a three match ODI series. Pakistan has only played three ODIs in 2024, out of which two were against Sri Lanka and they were unable to win, making the cup location of the tournament all that more important. As the Men in Blue are focused on clinching the ICC Champions Trophy, they cannot wait to get started next month.

It is now confirmed that Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian squad as they participate in the ICC Champions trophy. As India was under Sharma in the 2023 ODI world cup, they not only reached but also won the t20 world cup in 2024. Rohit has a chance at winning his second ICC trophy while in charge, and it’s just 134 runs until he breaks the huge barrier of 11 K runs in ODIs. The right handed batsman has already scored 10,866 runs in 265 matches which means it’s on the brink of happening.

Rohit Sharma Poised To Become The Second Fastest To Reach 11,000 ODI Runs.

Rohit Sharma requires 134 runs in his remaining 19 innings to become the second fastest batsman to reach 11,000 runs in ODIs. Kohli holds the record for being the fastest in achieving this magnificent feat, having accomplished it in just 222 innings across the 2019 World Cup.

Top ODI Run Scorers Above 11,000 and the Number Of Innings They Took :

Virat Kohli: 222 innings

Sachin Tendulkar: 276 innings

Ricky Ponting: 286 innings

Sourav Ganguly: 288 innings

Jacques Kallis: 293 innings

The Indian Captain Virat Kohli, who accumulated 11,000 runs should brace himself for the competition as Rohit is expected to reach the mark soon as he is currently spearheading the ODI Team for India. Also, against Sachin’s 276 innings, Tendulkar has roughly been placed in the second spot on the list.

Rohit Sharma’s Rise To ODI Stardom.

Rohit Sharma struggled to make an impact with the scheming ODI side he debuted with back in 2007, within a span of Six years. However Dhoni’s guidance to make him open during the 2013 ODI proved to be game changing for Rohit as he’s only grown stronger since then.

His durability with the wood achieved him the vice-captaincy in 2017. Rohit succeeded Virat Kohli as captain for T20Is and ODIs during 2021 and since then he has facilitated significant victories for the team, including the T20 World Cup which was held in 2024. He also serves as the captain of the Indian Test cricket team.
