Rohit Sharma breaks Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag's legendary records in 3rd ODI vs Afghanistan

Senior India batter Rohit Sharma delivered a strong performance in the third ODI against Afghanistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Chasing 219, he reached his half-century off 47 balls, helping keep India in contention during the run chase.

With that innings, Rohit moved past Rahul Dravid to record the most 50-plus scores for India in ODIs. Both players were previously level on 94 such scores, but Rohit now stands at 95 following his half-century. Only Sachin Tendulkar with 145



and Virat Kohli with 131 remain ahead of him on the all-time list.

Rohit Sharma's brilliant innings also saw him achieve another major milestone. The former India skipper overtook Virender Sehwag to become India's highest run-scorer as an opener in international cricket. Having already surpassed Sachin Tendulkar earlier, Rohit further strengthened his position at the top with a fluent 79-run knock against Afghanistan, taking his tally to 16,137 international runs as an opener.
