This will be one of the several records Rohit has broken in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. A few days ago, he became just the 15th man to score 10,000 ODI runs and the second-quickest to do so (241 innings).
Rohit will also become the batter with the second most runs after 250 ODIs, behind just Virat Kohli (12311 runs). No players other than Rohit and Kohli have ever made 10,000 or more runs after playing 250 ODIs.
