Rohit Sharma enters elite group of cricketers; completes 11k runs in ODI

India's skipper Rohit Sharma has entered an elite group of cricketers who have scored above 11000 runs in ODI cricket. He joins Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, and Sourav Ganguly in the list. Moreover, Rohit became the second-fastest Indian cricketer to complete 11,000 runs after Kohli. The Indian captain took 261 innings (11868 balls), while Kohli (11831 balls) took 222 innings.

In the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025, Indian openers were off to a great start, with Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma looking in terrific form. However, Rohit lost his wicket while batting on 41 runs. Bangladesh batters were brilliant in the first innings as they scored 228 runs after being reduced to 35-5 in the powerplay. While all the games are equally important for all the teams, India will look to win the game and have a brilliant start to the tournament. 

Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy were outstanding with the bat. While Ali scored a half-century, Hridoy scored a terrific century towards the end of the game. India's bowling department was magical with the ball, with Mohammed Shami taking a fifer. It seems like Shami owns the ICC tournaments. Harshit Rana and Axar Patel were good too.

He claimed a fifer in the first game of the tournament, helping India make a brilliant comeback in the game. He also drew the first blood for India by taking two quick wickets at the start of the innings. 

Bangladesh batters did well in the middle overs, but as soon as he returned, he claimed three wickets, dismantling the batting attack. India have to chase down 229 runs in their first game to get a good start in the tournament.
