Rohit Sharma played a 28-run knock against Punjab Kings on Wednesday, surpassing a huge milestone, having scored 10,000 runs in T20 format.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma was on the verge of an illustrious feat, as they squared off against Punjab Kings, and while he could only 28 runs at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Wednesday, it was enough for him to etch his name in the history books.
The 34-year-old became only the second Indian player after Virat Kohli to score 10,000 runs in the T20 format. He's the seventh overall batsman to this huge feat.
Rohit achieved the milestone by hitting a six off Kagiso Rabada's over but was dismissed on the very next ball, as the South African pacer bowled a short delivery that took an edge off Rohit's bat and went high up in the air.
Punjab Kings youngster Vaibhav Arora poached the catch and ended the innings of Rohit.
The veteran Indian player has now scored 10003 runs in the shortest format, of these, 3313 runs came in the Indian jersey, while in the IPL, Rohit has played for Mumbai and Deccan Chargers in the IPL. He currently trails Virat Kohli, who has 10379 runs under his belt.
The Nagpur-born batter's tally is seventh overall as the list is topped by Chris Gayle. The Universe Boss has a huge lead over his fellow cricketers as he leads the charts with 14562 runs to his credit. In second place is Pakistan legend Shoaib Malik, who has amassed a tally of 14562 runs.
