A 3-match ODI series is being played between India and Sri Lanka. Its first match was played in Colombo, which was very exciting and ended in a tie. Many records were also made in this match. The second match of this series will also be played in Colombo on August 4 and this is not going to be an ordinary match. In the second match, the records of legendary cricketers like Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar will be at stake. The current legendary batsmen of the Indian team, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will have a chance to break all of them. Therefore, this match is going to be special for them.
At the same time, Team India can also achieve the feat of winning 100 matches against a team by winning this match.Rohit Sharma had made many records in the first match as well. In the second match, he will be targeting the record of former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni has scored a total of 10773 runs in his ODI career, while Rohit has scored 10767 runs. As soon as he scores 7 runs, he will leave Dhoni behind in terms of scoring runs in ODIs.
In the second ODI match, Rohit will not only be targeting Dhoni but also Chris Gayle's record.
He will have a chance to become the 'Sixer King' of ODI cricket. Chris Gayle hit 331 sixes during his 301 match ODI career. Whereas the Indian captain has hit 326 sixes in 263 matches so far. If Rohit hits 6 sixes in the second match, he will leave Gayle behind.Virat Kohli is called the run machine of the Indian team. When Rohit Sharma is breaking so many records, how can he stay behind? In the second ODI, he will have a chance to make two records in his name. In 293 ODI matches, Virat has scored 13872 runs at an average of 58.
If he scores 128 runs in the next match, he will reach the figure of 14 thousand runs. He will become the second Indian and the third batsman in the world to do so. Till now only Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara have been able to do this feat.Apart from this, Virat is only 92 runs away from reaching the mark of 27 thousand runs in international cricket. He will have a chance to reach this record in the second match. As soon as he scores 92 runs, he will become only the fourth batsman in the world to do so. Before him, only Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting have been able to reach this record.
