Rohit Sharma Joins India’s 12,000-Run ODI Club

Rohit Sharma scripted another major milestone in ODI cricket during the second ODI against West Indies in Guwahati. The Indian opener completed 12,000 ODI runs with his 73rd run of the innings, becoming only the third Indian batter after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to reach the landmark. Rohit achieved the feat in his 282nd ODI innings, making him the second-fastest batter in the world to 12,000 ODI runs.

Virat Kohli remains the fastest to the milestone, reaching 12,000 runs in 242 innings. Rohit took 282 innings, followed by Sachin Tendulkar (300), Ricky Ponting (314) and Kumar Sangakkara (336). Rohit’s achievement came while India were chasing West Indies’ massive 405/7 total in the second ODI.
