Rohit Sharma became the second Indian batter to reach the 1000-run mark in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) on October 29, 2023. In India’s World Cup 2023 match at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, the 36-year-old accomplished the feat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rohit, who was born in Nagpur, only needed 31 runs to complete the feat, and he did so very easily. The first batter to reach 1000 runs in 2023 was Shubman Gill. Pathum Nissanka of Sri Lanka also achieved the milestone in the current iteration of the grand event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being just 34 runs short of a thousand runs, Virat Kohli too had an opportunity to reach the mark. Nevertheless, Ben Stokes caught the former Indian captain out for a duck at mid-off when he attempted to play a lofted shot against David Willey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Rohit surpassed the great Sachin Tendulkar in the record book for the most runs scored by an Indian batter in every World Cup. With 2525 runs at an average of 63.12 and a strike rate of 102.76 from 59 games, Kohli is currently India’s leading scorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tendulkar achieved a strike rate of 88.98 and an average of 56.95 while amassing 2278 runs from 45 matches. He also managed six hundreds and fifteen fifties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding Rohit, he has performed incredibly well at the World Cup. The veteran broke Kapil Dev’s record, which had been in place since 1983, to hit the fastest century by an Indian batter in the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, Rohit broke Sachin’s record for the most hundreds in 50-over World Cups in that same match. Rohit also made history in the game against New Zealand by being the first batsman from India to hit 50 sixes in a calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, in today\u2019s match, England won the toss and opted to bowl first against India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
