Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are on the cusp of achieving these milestones in the upcoming Odi series against Sri Lanka

The Indian cricket team will play one-day international (ODI) matches again in 2024, starting with a series against Sri Lanka on August 2. This series consists of three games. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are coming back to ODI cricket after India’s disappointing loss to Australia in the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup final on November 19, 2024.

Kohli was the top scorer and won the Player of the Tournament award in last year’s World Cup. He broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most ODI centuries, becoming the first player to score 50 centuries in ODI cricket.

Now, Kohli is aiming to break another of Sachin’s records during the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka. He wants to surpass Sachin’s record for the most runs scored against Sri Lanka in ODIs. However, this will be a difficult task as they will only play three ODIs.

Kohli has scored 2594 runs in only 51 one-day international matches against Sri Lanka. He is second to Tendulkar, who has the most runs with 3113 in 80 matches. Kohli needs 520 more runs to beat Sachin’s record and become the top run-scorer in one-day internationals against Sri Lanka.

Most ODI runs against Sri Lanka​

Sachin Tendulkar – 3113 runs in 80 innings

Virat Kohli – 2594 runs in 51 innings

MS Dhoni – 2383 runs in 53 innings

Inzamam-ul-Haq – 2265 runs in 58 innings

Saeed Anwar – 2198 runs in 52 innings

Rohit Sharma – 1864 runs in 50 innings

In the meantime, Rohit Sharma requires just 136 runs to reach the milestone of 2,000 runs against Sri Lanka in One Day Internationals (ODIs). The captain of the Indian cricket team is also aiming to surpass Shahid Afridi’s record for the most sixes in ODIs against Sri Lanka during the upcoming series. Rohit currently holds the second-highest number of 50 sixes and needs only 14 more to break Afridi’s record for the most ODI sixes against Sri Lanka.
