Rohit-Sharma-IND2

Indian captain and opening batsman Rohit Sharma will have a chance to make a special record in the Super 4 match of Asia Cup 2023 to be played against Pakistan at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday (September 10). If Rohit scores 78 runs in this match, he will become the second fastest player to score 10000 runs in ODI cricket. 

The record of scoring the fastest 10000 ODI runs is in the name of Virat Kohli, who achieved this feat in 205 innings. Whereas Rohit has scored 9922 runs in 239 innings played so far. Rohit will have a chance to surpass Sachin Tendulkar in this matter, who reached this figure in 259 innings. Currently Sourav Ganguly is at third place with 263 innings. 

Rohit Sharma was out cheaply in the Asia Cup match played against Pakistan on 2 September. But against Nepal, he made a brilliant comeback and played a brilliant inning of 74 not out in 59 balls. 

Let us tell you that there is a threat of rain looming over this important match between India and Pakistan. There is a 90 percent chance of rain in this match. Due to which a reserve day has been kept for this match. Apart from the final, this is the only match for which a reserve day has been kept. The first match between the two countries ended without any result due to rain.
