Rohit Sharma Eyes Huge ODI Milestone

Rohit Sharma can undoubtedly be regarded as a legend of Indian cricket. Whether as an opener or as a captain, he has consistently given his best over the years. He has also left his mark as a captain in the IPL. Even though he is in the final phase of his career, Rohit continues to prove that his hunger and determination have not diminished.

During the recent England tour, Rohit scored a century at Lord’s and added several more records to his name. Now, the Hitman is all set to return to the field with the bat. He will make his comeback in the upcoming ODI series against the West Indies, beginning on September 27, and is set to chase a few more milestones.

Most notably, Rohit is just 135 runs away from reaching the 10,000-run milestone as an ODI opener. This makes the upcoming series a potential opportunity for him to achieve the landmark. If Rohit reaches the milestone, he will become only the second Indian opener after Sachin Tendulkar to accomplish the feat.

Rohit has already smashed three centuries against the West Indies. If he scores another century, he will have the opportunity to equal Sachin Tendulkar’s record of four ODI centuries against the Caribbean side.

Apart from these milestones, the Hitman is also eyeing another record — the most sixes against the West Indies. He needs just six more sixes to move to the top of that list.

Rohit is therefore ready to add several more records to his already impressive career. In the last ODI of the England series, he came out firing with a brilliant century. Both Rohit and his fans will be hoping that he can carry the same form into the upcoming series.

With several reports and discussions surrounding his career, Rohit will be looking to make the most of every opportunity that comes his way. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is also working hard in preparation for the series. As a result, fans are eagerly looking forward to the return of both Indian cricket stars.
