Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli Set to Overtake Yuvi-Dada in ODI Record Books

Indian Cricket has produced some of the legendary players who went on to become stalwarts of the Indian Cricket Team across the formats. Among them, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli always stood out, having played a lot of cricket for India across three formats of the game and earning the title of the best batsmen in India.

As both are only active in ODI cricket now, and both have been eyeing to make an impact in this format and break several records. With the ENG vs IND ODI series underway and in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are all set to break the record of legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh and Former Skipper Sourav Ganguly, respectively. Let's have a look at what will be the new additions to Rohit Sharma ODI record and Virat Kohli ODI record.

New Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli ODI Records

In the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI, Rohit Sharma 279th ODI innings will take place, which will overtake Yuvraj Singh's 278 ODI innings for India in ODIs, making him at the 7th position. On the other hand, Virat Kohli 301st ODI innings will also take place, overtaking Sourav Ganguly's 300 ODI innings for India, making him at the 4th spot. These new Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli ODI records show how long both RO-KO have been serving well for the Indian team and continue to do the same in the ODI format. Given below are the rankings of players with the most ODI innings for India after these innings:

Recent Form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in ODIs

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have had very different runs of form in recent ODI matches. Kohli has been one of India's most consistent batters in 2026, scoring runs against New Zealand and South Africa earlier this year. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has struggled to find his usual attacking rhythm. He played a match-winning knock of 79 off 69 balls against Afghanistan in the 3rd ODI, but his recent performances have been below his standards.

If we look at the last match against England, both RO-KO failed to perform as per the expectations. Sharma played a slow innings of 11 runs in 21 balls, which looked like he was still searching for his best form, while Kohli was dismissed for just 5 runs. It will be interesting to see how both cricketers will take on the bowlers in the 2nd ODI and make a record-breaking, memorable match.
