Rohit Sharma breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s record in 200th ODI innings as opener

During the opening match of the series against West Indies, veteran batsman Rohit Sharma reached a significant career milestone in the fifty-over format. Playing his two-hundredth fixture at the top of the order, he overtook Sachin Tendulkar to claim the highest run tally after two hundred turns as an opener in one-day internationals.

Chasing a target of two hundred and ninety-six at the Greenfield International Stadium, the right-hander contributed thirty-two runs before his dismissal. His innings featured two boundaries and three hits over the fence, which also brought him within reach of AB de Villiers's tally for maximum sixes against the same opponent in this format.
