Rohit Sharma Set to Surpass Sachin Tendulkar in ODI Milestone

IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma Poised to Break Sachin Tendulkar’s Prestigious ODI Record

As India gears up to face England in the much-awaited 2025 ODI series, all eyes are firmly set on captain Rohit Sharma, who stands on the brink of surpassing one of Sachin Tendulkar’s iconic ODI milestones. The three-match series is expected to be a gripping contest,  dominance with both teams eager to assert  their supremacy on the international stage. Having clinched the T20I series 4–1, India will look to maintain their winning rhythm and extend their dominance under Rohit’s captaincy.

The return of Virat Kohli adds significant depth and experience to India’s batting order, forming a formidable partnership with Rohit at the top. On the other hand, England will be determined to bounce back and seek redemption after their T20I setback. With a perfect blend of seasoned campaigners and promising young talents on both sides, cricket fans can expect high-quality action and closely fought encounters throughout the series.

For Rohit Sharma, this series carries added importance. After struggling for form during the Sri Lanka tour, he will be keen to rediscover his touch with the bat and silence his critics. Leading India to a series victory would not only mark a personal triumph for the skipper but also move the team a step closer to another remarkable milestone in international cricket. With both sides eyeing consistency ahead of upcoming global tournaments, the India-England ODI series promises to be a thrilling battle of skill, strategy, and pride.

Abhishek Sharma Destroys Records and England in Mumbai

Abhishek Sharma delivered a breathtaking batting masterclass in the fifth T20I against England, lighting up Mumbai with a sensational 135 off just 54 balls. His blistering knock not only guided India to a colossal total of 247/9 but also etched his name into the record books as the highest individual scorer for India in T20 Internationals. England, overwhelmed by the onslaught, crumbled to 97 all out, giving India a commanding 150-run win and sealing the series 4–1 in emphatic fashion.

Chasing an enormous target, Phil Salt offered a brief glimmer of resistance for England with a rapid 50 from 21 balls, echoing his stellar IPL form. But his dismissal triggered a collapse as the rest of the English batting lineup faltered under mounting pressure. Abhishek continued to shine in the field, taking a sharp catch to dismiss Ben Duckett before grabbing two wickets in a single over, completely dismantling England’s hopes of a comeback.

Abhishek’s innings was one for the ages — featuring 13 towering sixes, the most ever by an Indian in a T20I. His clean hitting, particularly over mid-on and point, left spectators in awe. He raced to a half-century in just 17 balls, India’s second-fastest in the format, and reached his century off 37 deliveries — the second-fastest ever in a T20I between Full Member nations, behind only David Miller’s 35-ball ton. India’s explosive start of 95 runs in the powerplay set a new national record, perfectly capturing the fearless intent that defined the match. Put in to bat by England skipper Jos Buttler, India turned the challenge into a statement — one led by Abhishek Sharma’s unforgettable brilliance.

Rohit Sharma Nears 11,000 ODI Runs Milestone

As India prepares to take on England in the opening ODI at Nagpur on February 6 (Thursday), all attention will be on skipper Rohit Sharma, who stands on the verge of reaching a remarkable personal milestone. The Indian captain needs just 134 more runs to become the second-fastest player in history to cross 11,000 runs in One Day Internationals. Having already amassed 10,866 runs from 257 innings, Rohit is on the brink of joining cricket’s most elite run-getters. If he accomplishes the feat within his next 19 innings, he will overtake the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who reached the mark in 276 innings, and will only trail Virat Kohli, who did it in a record 222 innings.

Fastest to 11,000 ODI Runs:

  • Virat Kohli – 222 innings
  • Sachin Tendulkar – 276 innings
  • Ricky Ponting – 286 innings
  • Sourav Ganguly – 288 innings
  • Jacques Kallis – 293 innings

Beyond this milestone, Rohit is also on the cusp of another historic achievement. He is just two centuries away from completing 50 international hundreds — a feat only achieved by two other Indian cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, and nine players globally.

As India takes the field against England, the series offers Rohit Sharma not just a chance to lead his team to victory, but also to etch his name even deeper into cricketing history. Every run he scores in Nagpur will carry the weight of anticipation, as fans eagerly watch their captain edge closer to greatness.
