Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma created history during the India vs. Sri Lanka game

Earlier in the game, India skipper Rohit Sharma scored a magnificent half-century. Rohit, in his innings, scored 53 runs off 48 balls with the help of seven fours and three sixes. During his innings, Rohit completed 10,000 ODI runs for India and became the second fastest after Kohli to do so. He also struck an 80-run partnership with Shubman Gill. The pair became the fastest Indian opening pair to complete 1,000 ODI runs.

After Gill’s departure, Rohit had a brief partnership with Virat Kohli. The duo added 10 runs for the second wicket but achieved a significant milestone in between. The duo became the fastest pair in the world to complete 5,000 partnership runs in one-day internationals. They achieved this after adding five runs to the game. It’s worth noting that India will now aim to win the Asia Cup and get ready for the marquee ODI World Cup.
