IND vs BAN: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is regarded as one of the most explosive and versatile batsmen in the world. His ability to dominate any bowling attack, especially once he settles in at the crease, makes him a tough challenge for any opponent. Sharma’s prowess with the bat is unmatched, and his signature pull shot is particularly admired by fans and cricket experts.
Among his many achievements, Rohit has the unique distinction of being the only cricketer to score three double centuries in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), which is a testament to his exceptional talent and consistency.
IND vs BAN Towards a new milestone
Currently on a good break, Rohit Sharma is gearing up to make a comeback in the upcoming India vs Bangladesh two-match Test series, which begins on September 19. Along with gearing up for the series, the star opener stands on the verge of achieving another significant milestone in his illustrious career. Rohit has already scored 48 centuries in international cricket and if he manages to score two more centuries in the upcoming series, he will achieve the milestone of 50 international centuries. This feat will make him only the third Indian batsman to reach this coveted milestone.
Joining the elite club
If Rohit Sharma achieves this record, he will join the elite club of Indian cricketers who have scored 50 or more centuries in international cricket. The great Sachin Tendulkar tops the list with 100 international centuries, while Virat Kohli has scored 80 centuries so far. Both Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid are currently tied with 48 centuries, but Rohit is very likely to surpass this mark, given his current form and upcoming matches.
Rohit’s impressive career stats
Rohit Sharma’s contribution to Indian cricket is further highlighted by his impressive career stats. In Test cricket, he has played 59 matches, scoring 4,137 runs. In ODIs, Rohit has scored 10,866 runs in 265 matches, while in T20Is, he has scored 4,231 runs in 159 matches. These figures make him the fourth-highest run-scorer for India after legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid. As Rohit inches closer to the milestone of 50 centuries, cricket fans around the world are eagerly waiting for his return to the field, hoping to see another historic feat from the ‘Hitman’.
