Rohit Sharma creates history, becomes third Indian to score 12,000 ODI runs

During the second match against the West Indies on Wednesday, September 30, veteran opening batsman Rohit Sharma bounced back from a modest opening outing by notching up a solid half-century and crossing a major career threshold. By securing a single off a slower delivery from Roston Chase into the mid-wicket area at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, the former skipper successfully crossed the twelve-thousand run mark in fifty-over internationals.

With this achievement, he stands as just the third batsman from his country to enter this elite club, following in the footsteps of legendary run-scorers Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Additionally, the accomplished right-hander secured this feat in 282 innings, making him the second quickest player overall to reach the milestone.
