India captain Rohit Sharma achieved a unique milestone during the 2025 Champions Trophy final against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, March 9. The right-handed batter became the leading run-scorer at the venue, going past Scotland’s Richie Berrington (424 runs in 11 innings).
The 37-year-old needed only four runs to go past Berrington when he walked out to bat in the all-important final. He achieved the milestone in the very first over of India’s run chase against the Black Caps. The Mumbai batter unlocked the feat with his trademark six over square leg off Kyle Jamieson on the second delivery of the contest.
