In the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka, Indian captain Rohit Sharma will be eyeing to break the big record of former coach Rahul Dravid. Rohit Sharma is just 2 runs away from breaking this record. If Hitman scores two runs in this match against Sri Lanka to be played in Colombo, he will become the fourth Indian to score the most runs in ODI cricket for India. Only Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly will be ahead of him in this list. Rohit Sharma currently has 10,767 runs in ODI cricket.

Rahul Dravid is currently at the fourth position with 10768 runs in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs in ODI cricket for India. Dravid scored these runs in 340 matches, while Rohit Sharma is at the fifth position with 10,767 runs in 263 matches. Rohit Sharma will surpass Rahul Dravid in this list as soon as he scores two runs today.
Talking about the ODI runs of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, known as the God of Cricket, is at the top of this list with 18,426 runs. He is the highest run-scorer in ODIs not only for India but also in world cricket. Sachin played a total of 463 matches to score 18,426 runs.
Like Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan is also making a comeback in Indian cricket, he is also a contender for captaincy
While Virat Kohli is second in this list with 13,872 runs in 293 matches, former captain Sourav Ganguly is at third place with 11,221 runs in 308 matches.
Looking at the form in which Rohit Sharma is batting right now, it seems that he will soon surpass Sourav Ganguly in this list. However, it will be difficult for him to surpass Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.
India has to play ODI series only against Sri Lanka this year. Apart from this, the schedule of India’s ODI matches against any team has not been released yet. It is also not clear whether Team India will play the Champions Trophy in 2025 or not.
