Rohit Sharma poised for major milestone in international cricket
What's the story
Former Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is poised for major milestone in internatonal cricket. The Hitman is just 98 runs away from completing 20,000 runs in internationals for Team India. Rohit will feature in the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa at JSCA Stadium in Ranchi. If he manages to score those runs in Ranchi or across the other two matches, he will become only the fourth Indian cricketer to achieve this feat after Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Rahul Dravid.
