IND vs ENG ODI: Rohit Sharma Eyes Another Historic Milestone, Set to Surpass Sachin’s Record

Rohit Sharma’s recent form in red-ball cricket has been disappointing. Now, the Indian captain aims to regain his form in the three-match ODI series against England at home. From February 19, the Indian cricket team, under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, will begin its campaign for the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. Before that, Rohit Sharma will have the opportunity to achieve a special milestone.

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will face England in the first ODI, which is scheduled for Thursday, February 6, at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium in Nagpur. India is entering the ODI series after a disappointing series defeat to Sri Lanka, the first in 27 years. Rohit will also aim to break another record in ODI cricket.

Rohit Sharma’s Opportunity to Achieve Big Milestone

India will play a three-match ODI series against England at home starting February 6, giving Rohit Sharma the chance to achieve a significant milestone. Rohit needs only 134 runs to become the second-fastest player to score 11,000 runs in ODIs. Virat Kohli holds the current record, achieving the feat in just 222 innings.

Rohit Sharma’s Eyes on Big Records

Rohit Sharma, who is currently the fourth-highest run-scorer for India in ODIs, has scored 10,866 runs in 257 innings at an impressive average of 49.16 and a strike rate of 92.43. To surpass Sachin Tendulkar, who achieved this milestone in 276 innings, Rohit will need 134 runs in 18 innings. If successful, he will become the fourth Indian to score 11,000 runs, joining Tendulkar (18,426), Virat Kohli (13,906), and Sourav Ganguly (11,363).

Rohit Sharma in ODIs since 2022:

2022 – 41.50 Avg & 114.22 Sr.
2023 – 52.29 Avg & 117.07 Sr.
