Rohit Sharma Set to Surpass Sachin Tendulkar in ODI Milestone

IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma On Cusp Of Surpassing Sachin Tendulkar In Elite ODI Record

As India prepares to take on England in the highly anticipated 2025 ODI series, all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma, who is on the verge of surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s illustrious ODI record. The series, consisting of three matches, will be a crucial test for both teams as they look to assert their dominance on the global stage. India, having won the T20I series 4-1, will look to carry forward their winning momentum into the ODIs under Rohit’s leadership.

The return of Virat Kohli adds further strength to India’s batting lineup, with the duo of Kohli and Sharma expected to lead the charge. England, however, will be keen to challenge India, aiming to avenge their T20I defeat. With both sides boasting a strong mix of experienced and young players, this ODI series promises to deliver intense competition.

Rohit’s recent struggles with the bat, including his poor form in the Sri Lanka series, will make this series an important one for the Indian captain to regain his confidence. A win in this series would not only bring a sense of relief to Rohit but also bring India closer to another major milestone in international cricket. The series is expected to be a closely contested affair, as both teams are in the midst of building strong squads for future global tournaments..

Abhishek shatters records and England in Mumbai

Abhishek Sharma produced a stunning display of batting in the fifth T20I against England, smashing records with a remarkable 135 runs off just 54 balls, setting a new record for the highest score by an Indian batter in T20Is. His explosive innings helped India post a massive total of 247/9, a target that proved too much for England as they were bowled out for just 97, handing India a 150-run victory and a 4-1 series win.

In reply, England's Phil Salt showcased some of the form that made him a standout in last year's IPL, scoring a quickfire 50 off 21 balls. However, his efforts were in vain as England's top order crumbled under pressure. Abhishek was instrumental in the field as well, taking part in key moments including a sharp catch to dismiss Ben Duckett and later picking up two wickets in a single over, adding to England’s woes.

Abhishek's incredible performance included 13 sixes, a new India record for the most sixes in a T20I innings, with most of them flying over the mid-on and point regions. His 17-ball half-century was India’s second-fastest in T20Is, and his 37-ball century was the second-fastest in a Full Member nation encounter, just behind David Miller’s 35-ball century. India set a national record with 95 runs in the first six overs, setting the tone for a dominant victory after being put in to bat by England captain Jos Buttler.

Rohit Sharma Closes In On 11,000 ODI Runs

India and England are set to face off in the first ODI of the series at Nagpur on February 6 (Thursday), and all eyes will be on Indian captain Rohit Sharma as he targets a major ODI milestone. Rohit is just 134 runs away from becoming the second-fastest player to reach 11,000 runs in One Day Internationals. With 10,866 runs from 257 ODI innings, Rohit is on the brink of joining an elite list of players. If he achieves this feat within the next 19 innings, the 37-year-old will surpass Sachin Tendulkar, who reached the 11,000-run mark in 276 innings, and trail only Virat Kohli, who achieved it in 222 innings.

The fastest batters to 11,000 ODI runs are:

  1. Virat Kohli - 222 innings
  2. Sachin Tendulkar - 276 innings
  3. Ricky Ponting - 286 innings
  4. Sourav Ganguly - 288 innings
  5. Jacques Kallis - 293 innings

In addition to this, Rohit Sharma is also closing in on another remarkable achievement, needing just two more centuries to reach 50 international hundreds. Should he accomplish this, he will become only the third Indian player, after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, to reach this milestone, and the 10th player overall in cricket history.

As Rohit aims for these prestigious records, the upcoming series against England presents the perfect opportunity for the Indian captain to add to his legacy.
