Rohit completes 3,500 runs for India in Test Cricket
India captain Rohit Sharma added another milestone to his illustrious career on Thursday by completing 3,500 runs in Test cricket format. Meanwhile, Rohit became the 20th Indian batter to hit the 3,500 run mark in Test format.
Only Kohli (8,479), Cheteshwar Pujara (7,195) and Ajinkya Rahane (5,066) have more tests among active Indian players. Meanwhile Rohit, who averages 45+ in the format, reached the milestone after 51 tests. Besides 15 half centuries, the Indian captain also hammered nine centuries.
Rohit, who made his international debut in 2007, didn’t earn his first Test cap until 2013. Although he was a heavy smoker in his debut, he blew hot and cold as a range hitter intermediate. After being promoted to fly-half in 2019, his fortunes changed. Last year, he was named India’s full-time Test captain.
