His achievements have already made him the fourth-highest run-getter in the illustrious history of ODI cricket, following in the footsteps of iconic players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, and Ricky Ponting. 


Virat Kohli, also known as the Indian run machine, has an impressive track record with 274 matches under his belt and has scored 12,898 runs at an exceptional average of 57.32 in the one-day format. His journey includes 46 centuries and 65 half-centuries in one-day cricket.


Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is determined to achieve a remarkable milestone of 10,000 runs in limited-overs cricket. If he is able to reach this mark, he would become the sixth Indian player to achieve such a milestone in ODIs. 


Rohit currently stands at 9,825 runs and has an impressive average of 48.63 in one-day cricket, during which he has achieved 30 centuries and 48 half-centuries in 243 ODI matches.


Post their Test series victory by a margin of 1-0, the Indian cricket team is now getting ready for the upcoming three-match ODI series against West Indies. The first ODI is set to take place in Bridgetown on Thursday. Unfortunately, the second Test match between India and the West Indies, held in Port of Spain, was interrupted due to rain on the final day. As a result, the match ended in a draw.
