Kohli And Sharma on The Verge of Scripting History in ODI Series Against West Indies

It seems like both Rohit and Virat have their eyes fixed on achieving milestones in the opening ODI match against West Indies.

In the upcoming first ODI match against West Indies, the formidable duo of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, have their sights firmly set on personal milestones. Virat, who is on the verge of completing 13,000 runs in the one-day format, stands 102 runs away from his goal. 

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.

India has announced its ODI squad for the series, with Rohit Sharma leading the team as the captain. Alongside him are promising players like Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, and Ishan Kishan. 

While the dynamic all-rounder Hardik Pandya will serve as the vice-captain, the bowling department has talents like Shardul Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, and Mukesh Kumar.

As the two cricketing legends, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, gear up for the first ODI match against West Indies, the entire nation is filled with high hopes.
