Overtaking Ganguly, Rohit Sharma now ranks third among India’s ODI run scorers

In India’s second ODI match against Australia in Adelaide, opener Rohit Sharma became the third-highest run scorer for his nation. With 32 hundreds, 59 fifties, and a highest score of 264, Rohit has amassed 11,249 runs at an average of 48.69 from 267 ODI innings. With a knock of 73 at the Adelaide Oval, the 38-year-old Rohit passed former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly (11221) to take third place in the all-time Indian list.
