Rohit Sharma reached two major milestones during the second India-West Indies ODI at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, scoring his 35th ODI century and crossing 12,000 runs in the format.

The India batter reached three figures from 72 deliveries. His innings included 10 fours and six sixes as he completed his 35th hundred in one-day international cricket.

Rohit Sharma’s 35th ODI hundred

Rohit’s century adds to his record in the 50-over format and came during India’s second ODI against the West Indies. He reached the landmark at a brisk pace, bringing up his hundred in 72 balls.

The innings featured a combination of boundaries and sixes, with Rohit hitting 10 fours and six sixes. The performance underlined the impact of his scoring as he moved to another significant personal milestone in the match.

Third Indian to reach 12,000 ODI runs

Rohit also crossed 12,000 ODI runs during the innings. He became only the third Indian batter to reach the mark, following Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.

The achievement places Rohit alongside two of India’s most prominent one-day international run-scorers. His progression to the landmark came in the same innings as his 35th ODI century, making the Guwahati match a notable occasion for the India batter.

The milestones were recorded in the second match of the India-West Indies ODI series at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Rohit’s 35th century and entry into the 12,000-run club were the key developments from his innings.
