Rohit Sharma is a few steps away from claiming multiple records as an Indian opener against England. The ODI series between India and England, which is scheduled to start on July 14 in Birmingham, could become a never-to-forget contest for the former India captain.
The 39-year-old opener, who is considered one of the most effective openers of all time for the India National Cricket Team across the formats, has a golden opportunity to claim 11 milestones during the India vs England ODI series. There will be three ODIs between these two teams from July 14 to July 19.
As per stats, Rohit needs only one century to become the Indian opener with the most centuries in his tally. Across the formats, the right-handed batter has recorded 12 centuries in Tests, 33 in ODIs, and 5 in the T20 Internationals for India.
With one century in the series, he will become the first-ever Indian player to register a century at the age of 39. As India will face England for three ODIs, Rohit Sharma will have the chance to claim a few more records with multiple long-standing knocks. In England, the experienced opener has nine hundreds and needs one more to touch legendary Don Bradman’s record for scoring 10 centuries in England.
Rohit Sharma could surpass Sachin Tendulkar's legendary record
If he can smash a couple of tons, then Rohit Sharma will have the most international centuries against England scored by an Indian cricketer. With 9 tons, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most centuries against England, while Rohit now has 8. If he scores one century in the series, then he will equal Tendulkar’s record, but if he gets two hundreds, then he will create a new record.
In another interesting record, if Rohit scores 49 runs in any of the three ODIs for a winning cause, then he will have the most runs by an opener in winning efforts.
The former skipper could achieve bigger records if he could register 280 runs in the series. With 178 runs in three matches, Rohit Sharma will become the Indian opener to score the most ODI runs against England, and with 280 runs, the Mumbaikar will complete his 12,000 ODI runs.
Rohit could also emerge as the only Asian opener to Score 9,000 runs against the SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) Teams if he claims 69 runs in the upcoming 3-match ODI series against England.

The seasoned campaigner, who is known for taking the bowlers for long shots into the stands, is close to claiming a total of three records by hitting only maximums. With only one 6, ‘Hitman’ will own the record for hitting the most 6s against England by an Indian.
With 3 and 8 sixes, Rohit Sharma will script history as the batter with the most sixes against SENA teams in international cricket and the batter with the most number of 6s in England by a touring player in the One Day International format, respectively.
