Former India skipper Rohit Sharma is on the verge to achieve a big milestone of his career as he is just 41 runs away from completing 20,000 runs in International Cricket. If he gets the milestone then he will become the fourth Indian batter to complete the feat. At present, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid are the only three batters in the elite club to achieve this feat.
Sachin Tendulkar – 34,357 runs
Virat Kohli – 27,808 runs
Rahul Dravid – 24,064 runs

Rohit Sharma has had an exceptional career as he continues to achieve milestone, he has registered 50 hundreds and 110 fifties. In his overall career, Rohit has 4,301 runs in Tests, 4,321 runs in T20Is and 11,427 runs in ODIs.
He stroked a hundred and a fifty during the Australia tour and carried that momentum into the South Africa series with a fluent 57 off 51 in Ranchi. That knock also saw him script global ODI history as he smashed his 352nd six, surpassing Shahid Afridi’s long-standing record of 351. While form is on his side, and a big record is within touching distance, all eyes will be on Rohit as he aims to join India’s most legendary run-scorers.
