Rohit Sharma: Indian team's star batsman Rohit Sharma has created a new history in ODI cricket. Rohit Sharma has completed his 12000 runs in ODI cricket after scoring 73 runs against West Indies at Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Rohit Sharma has become only the third Indian batsman after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to score 12 thousand runs in ODI cricket. Rohit, who came to open for Team India to chase the huge and historic target of 406 runs given by West Indies, attacked the Caribbean bowlers as soon as he entered the field. He not only completed his 12 thousand runs, but also created a unique record of sixes on Indian soil, which no Indian could do till date. Rohit has now become the first batsman to hit 200 sixes on Indian soil.

Rohit Sharma became only the third Indian after Sachin-Virat to score 12000 runs in ODI.

In the history of ODI cricket, touching the figure of 12,000 runs has been possible only for a select few batsmen in the world. As soon as Rohit Sharma crossed this magical figure, he has entered the special club of great Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Rohit has now become only the third batsman from India to score 12000 runs in ODI cricket. Whereas, if we talk about overall world cricket, he is only the seventh batsman in the world who has achieved this position.

World's second fastest batsman in terms of balls

Apart from this historical record, Rohit Sharma has made another record. Rohit has become the second fastest batsman in the world to complete 12000 runs in the history of ODI cricket in terms of balls faced. Rohit faced only 12973 balls for this. In this matter, Virat Kohli is at number one, who achieved this feat in just 12853 balls.

Rohit Sharma hit 200 sixes on Indian soil

The world doesn't call Rohit Sharma 'Hitman' for nothing. As soon as Rohit hit sky-high sixes during his innings in this match against West Indies, he wrote another magical record in his name. He has become the first batsman to hit 200 ODI sixes in India (on home soil). No batsman in the world is even close to the figure of 200 sixes in ODI cricket on Indian grounds, which proves how much havoc Rohit's bat wreaks on home grounds.
