Record Alert: Rohit Sharma surpasses Indian legend to become 2nd fastest to 11,000 ODI runs in IND vs BAN 2025 Champions Trophy match

India captain Rohit Sharma scripted history in the 2025 Champions Trophy clash against Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday, February 20. The right-hander smashed a boundary off Mustafizur Rahman in the fourth over of the chase to reach 11,000 runs in ODIs, becoming the second fastest to reach the landmark.

In the process, the 37-year-old broke legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar’s record and only finished behind modern-day legend Virat Kohli to achieve the feat. Rohit walked out to bat with 12 runs needed for the aforementioned landmark.

Interestingly, all the three players have served as India's captain across formats. Erstwhile India skipper Sourav Ganguly is also part of the top five list.
