1.2 - Virat Kohli became the second batsman to score 10,000-plus runs at No 3
Indian skipper Virat Kohli became the second batsman in the world to score 10,000 runs at No in ODIs. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting sits at the top of the list of runs at number 3 in ODIs, having amassed 12,662 runs from 330 innings.
The Indian skipper crossed the 10,000-mark playing just his 190th innings. The third batsman on the list is former Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batsman Kumar Sangakkara, who scored 9,747 runs from 238 innings, followed by South Africa's Jacques Kallis (7,774).
2.52 - Ben Stokes smashed fastest 99 in ODIs ever
England's swashbuckling all-rounder missed out on his century in a stunning display of six-hitting against India in the 2nd ODI by just one run. However, by getting out on 99, he registered his name in the record books by hitting the fastest 99 ever in the 50-over format.
It was the 34th time that a batsman got out on 99 in ODIs and the previous fastest 99 was by AB de Villiers in the 2015 Cricket World Cup against the UAE in 82 balls. Stokes' came in 30 balls less, in just 52 balls, owing to 10 humongous sixes and four fours.
3.13 - Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow's 100-run opening stand
England's explosive opening pair of Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow brought up their 13th 100-run opening partnership in the ODI cricket. The pair averages 61.6 ( highest in the top 5) in the 43 innings they have batted together after they stitched a 110-run stand on Friday in the second ODI.
They are now on the fifth spot for the most number of 100-run opening partnerships in the format after Sourav Ganguly-Sachin Tendulkar (21), Rohit Sharma-Shikhar Dhawan (16), Adam Gilchrist-Mathew Hayden (16) and Gordon Greenidge-Desmond Haynes (15).
4.34 - Number of sixes hit in the 2nd ODI
34 sixes were hit in the 2nd ODI, making it the third highest tally of sixes hit in an ODI after the West Indies-England game in 2019 (46) and India-Australia game in 2013 (38). While England hit 20 sixes, India hit 14 as more than 670 runs were scored in the match.
