Two of India's cricket titans- Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma- stand on the cusp of significant milestones as the three-match ODI series against England approaches, beginning February 6. Kohli's chase for 14,000 ODI runs Virat Kohli needs just 94 runs to become the fastest to reach 14,000 ODI runs, potentially surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record. While Tendulkar achieved this feat in his 350th innings against Pakistan in 2006, Kohli has accumulated 13,906 runs in merely 283 innings, averaging 58.18. The Record Timeline Kumar Sangakkara stands as the second-fastest to the 14,000-run milestone, reaching it in 378 innings during a 2015 match against Australia in Sydney. Kohli's imminent achievement would significantly better both landmarks. Rohit's captaincy milestone Meanwhile, captain Rohit Sharma approaches his own slice of history, requiring 293 runs to overtake Pakistan's Imran Khan's tally of 5,655 international runs as captain. Sharma currently has 5,363 runs as India's skipper across formats. Recent Form Both players enter the series seeking rhythm. Kohli managed just 58 runs in his last ODI series against Sri Lanka, while Rohit's recent Ranji Trophy comeback yielded only 31 runs across two innings against Jammu Kashmir. Series Schedule The series opens at Nagpur's Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium on February 6, followed by matches at Cuttack's Barabati Stadium (February 9) and Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium (February 12). Champions Trophy context With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 approaching, this series presents both veterans a crucial opportunity to regain form and achieve their respective milestones, strengthening India's preparation for the upcoming global tournament.Original Article
