Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma added another milestone to his illustrious ODI career during the second match against West Indies in Guwahati on Wednesday, becoming the seventh batter to score 12,000 runs in Men’s One Day Internationals. The India opener reached the landmark while India were chasing a daunting 406-run target. He got there with a single off Roston Chase in the 16th over, becoming only the third Indian after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to enter the 12,000-run club. Since making his ODI debut in 2007, Rohit has scored more than 12,000 runs in 290 matches, with 34 centuries and 62 half-centuries. His ODI career includes an unbeaten 264 against Sri Lanka in Kolkata in 2014, which remains the highest individual score in Men’s ODI cricket. Earlier, centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo helped West Indies post their first 400-plus total in the 50-over format. They scored 405 for seven after being sent in to bat. The West Indies captain went on to score 104 off 94 balls, hitting eight fours and three sixes, as he kept the pressure on India and prevented them from making a comeback. Their total of 405 for seven also surpassed their previous highest ODI score of 389 against England in 2019.
He is also the only batter to have scored three double-centuries in the format. It was the first time West Indies had three centurions in the same ODI innings.
