Rohit Sharma reaches a major milestone during India’s first ODI against Afghanistan. Multiple outlets report that he becomes the second Indian opener to cross 16,000 international runs across all formats. The record is achieved in the course of the match, as Sharma continues his rise into cricket’s most accomplished run-getters. One report also frames the achievement as part of Sharma becoming India’s most senior men’s ODI cricketer, highlighting his long-standing status and experience in the format. Another source adds that the landmark places him among an elite group of opening batters and notes that it comes after surpassing Jacques Kallis’ ODI run tally. The reports agree that the milestone is specifically tied to Sharma’s performance in the Afghanistan ODI, and that it is notable both for its rarity among Indian openers and for the broader historical context of comparisons with other major international players.
