Ind vs Aus: Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma 2 Runs Short From Attaining ODI World Record

Team India's two star batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been silent in the IND vs AUS ODI series so far.

In Ind-Aus 3rd ODI, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are nearing an elusive world record in One-Day-Internationals, as a batting pair.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli (4998 runs in 85 ODI innings) are just two runs short of becoming the fastest pair to reach 5000 runs in ODIs.

If Virat-Rohit attains this feat, they will leapfrog West Indies batting legends Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes (5000 ODI runs in 97 ODI innings).

Rohit and Kohli will also become the first non-opening Indian pair to score 5000 ODI runs.

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly (8227 runs in 176 ODI innings) hold the record for scoring most runs as a pair in ODIs.
