Former India National Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma has created history with his performance with the bat in the third ODI of the three-match series against the South Africa National Cricket Team.
KL Rahul-led India and Temba Bavuma-led South Africa are locking horns with each other in the ODI series decider at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
The 38-year-old has looked in sensational form since making his comeback to One Day Internationals, and he even won the Player of the Series award in the Australia ODIs for his stellar performances.
He started off the ODI series against South Africa on a strong note as he slammed 57 runs in the opening match. However, he fell for 14 runs in the second game of the series.
Heading into the third ODI, Rohit was only a few runs away from the 20,000-run mark, and he easily achieved the legendary milestone in the 14th over, which was bowled by Keshav Maharaj.
On the fourth ball of the 14th over, Keshav Maharaj bowled a 87.9 kmph on a length, and Rohit punched it towards long-off for a single. With that single, he completed 20,000 runs in international cricket.
The legendary opener became only the fourth Indian and 14th man overall to score 20,000 runs in international cricket.
