Rohit Sharma became the second Indian after Virat Kohli to score 1,500 runs in T20 Internationals. Rohit got to his landmark in the first T20I against Sri Lanka played at the Barabati Stadium, Cuttack on Wednesday. He has played 69 T20Is and averages 30.04 with a strike rate of 129.93. He has a century and 12 fifties to his name.
The elegant right-hander stroked one through the covers for a boundary to bring up the landmark in style. However, Rohit (17) soon departed trying to up the run rate.
He became the 14th cricketer to score 1,500 in T20I history.
