Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Set Sights on Historic ODI Milestones for 2026

Indian cricket legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have signaled their unwavering commitment to the ODI format, setting ambitious targets for 2026 following their recent century-making spree in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Both players are now solely focused on ODIs, aiming to cement their legacies further by breaking monumental records.

Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai Indians captain, is closing in on becoming the first cricketer in history to hit 400 sixes in the 50-over format, needing just 45 more maximums. He also aims for a ninth 150+ score in ODIs, a feat that would surpass David Warner. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is targeting the record for the fastest player to reach 15,000 ODI runs, needing 433 more runs to surpass Sachin Tendulkar’s milestone in fewer innings. Kohli is also expected to reach his 61st List A century and 55th ODI century, further extending his record tally.

These goals highlight the duo's continued dominance and hunger for success, promising a historic year for Indian cricket fans as they prepare for upcoming international assignments and the next 50-over World Cup.
