SL vs IND: Rohit Sharma goes past Rahul Dravid in an unnoticed record in 2nd ODI

Rohit Sharma went past former India captain and coach Rahul Dravid in an elite list.

India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma gave his side another brisk start in the ongoing second ODI against Sri Lanka. The two teams met on August 4 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, where Rohit went above former head coach Rahul Dravid in the tally of an important record.

The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka ended in a tie. Rohit had top-scored for India with 58 runs off 47 balls. Since last year, Sharma has been playing an aggressive brand of game in white-ball cricket.

Rohit Sharma has now scored more ODI runs than Rahul Dravid
