India captain Rohit Sharma has reached a significant career milestone by completing 11,000 runs in One Day Internationals. He achieved this feat during India's opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 against Bangladesh in Dubai.
Rohit reached the landmark with his 12th run in the game and became the second-fastest player to achieve the milestone. He completed 11,000 runs in his 261st ODI inning and went past Sachin Tendulkar, who reached the mark in 276 innings. Virat Kohli remains the fastest to 11,000 ODI runs, achieving it in just 222 innings.

With this achievement, Rohit has become the fourth Indian to cross 11,000 runs in ODIs. He joins Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Sourav Ganguly in an elite list of Indian batters.
Rohit’s journey as an opener began in 2013 when MS Dhoni promoted him to the top order. That decision changed his career and made him one of the most dominant batters in world cricket. His ability to score big runs and hit sixes effortlessly has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest openers in ODI history.
Rohit also recently surpassed Chris Gayle’s record of 331 sixes becoming the second player with the most sixes in ODI cricket. He trails Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi who holds the record with 351 sixes.
