Rohit Sharma Achieves 2nd Fastest 10000 Runs in ODI

On September 12, India’s captain Rohit Sharma accomplished a significant milestone in his One Day International (ODI) career, becoming the sixth Indian batter and the fifteenth overall to reach the illustrious 10,000-run mark in ODIs. Rohit’s remarkable achievement took place during India’s Asia Cup Super 4 encounter against Sri Lanka.

Rohit Sharma reached this significant milestone in a truly memorable fashion. He struck a six off the bowling of Sri Lanka’s Kasun Rajitha, crossing the 10,000-run threshold in the seventh over of the innings. It’s worth noting that this milestone comes just a day after Virat Kohli, Rohit’s teammate and one of the world’s premier batters, became the fastest batter in the history of ODI cricket to surpass the remarkable 13,000-run milestone, achieving this feat in a record-breaking 267 innings.

Virat Kohli completed the feat in only 205 innings. As part of an illustrious group of Indian cricketers, Rohit Sharma has cemented his place among the all-time greats in ODI cricket. The list of Indian batters who have crossed the 10,000-run mark in ODIs is a testament to the rich batting tradition of Indian cricket:
