With An Incredible 34357 Runs During A Legendary Career Spanning 24 Years, Sachin Tendulkar Remains The Highest Run Scorer In Both India And The World At The International Level.
Second On This List Is Kohli, Who Debuted For India In 2008 And Has Since Amassed 26121 Runs.
With 24064 Runs Scored Between 1996 And 2012, Indian Men’s Cricket Team Head Coach Rahul Dravid Is In Third Place On His List.
Sourav Ganguly, A Former Captain Of India And President Of The BCCI, Is Ranked Fourth With 18433 Runs Scored For His Country Between 1992 And 2008.
In All, Rohit, 36, Is The 20th Player In The History Of International Cricket To Achieve This Feat.
The Early Removals Of Shubman Gill, Kohli, And Shreyas Iyer Stunned The World Cup Hosts, But Rohit Spearheaded India’s Comeback Against England.
Chris Woakes Cleaned Up Gill With A Nip-Backed Before Kohli Gave In To The Pressure And Attempted To Open His Account By Stepping Out And Clearing The Infield, Only To Hole Out For A Nine-Ball Duck Off David Willey At Mid-Off.
After England Chose To Bowl First, Woakes Struck Again, This Time Getting Iyer To Hole Out To Mark Wood On 4, Leaving India At 40/3 After 11.5 Overs.
In The Current World Cup, Rohit Has Been Performing Admirably And Recently Achieved A Century. Against Afghanistan – The Seventh Century For Him In Competition’s History Which Is Also The Most By Any Batter So Far.
