Rohit Sharma News / Rohit will become part of a special club, 4 Indian players have been able to do this feat

Rohit Sharma News: Indian ODI team captain Rohit Sharma is currently away from the cricket field. He will also not take part in the Asia Cup starting next month, which will be played in T20 format. Rohit retired from T20 International cricket last year and is now playing only ODI cricket. But as soon as he takes the field in the next ODI match, he will become a part of a special club, which only four Indian players have been able to join so far. Rohit Sharma is now just one match away from becoming the fifth member of this club.

Sachin Tendulkar's record is at the top

The record of playing the most international matches for India is held by legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar. He made his international cricket debut in 1989 and played a total of 664 matches till 2013. These include Test, ODI and T20 International matches. No Indian player has been able to come close to his record. The player at number two in the list also does not have 600 matches to his name.

Virat Kohli and Dhoni's magic

After Sachin, the second name in this list is Virat Kohli. Kohli, who made his debut in 2008, has played 550 international matches so far. At number three is former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who played 535 international matches in his career. At the same time, Rahul Dravid, who was part of the Indian team from 1996 to 2012, is in fourth place with 504 matches. These four players are the only batsmen to play more than 500 international matches for India.

Rohit Sharma's historic step

Rohit Sharma is now just one step away from joining this special club. Rohit, who made his debut in international cricket in 2007, has played 499 international matches so far. Now by playing only one more match, he will touch the figure of 500 international matches. Since Rohit is now playing only ODI cricket, he will have to wait a bit to reach this milestone.

Will create history in Australia series

The Indian cricket team will tour Australia in October 2025, where a series of three ODIs will be played. It is believed that Rohit Sharma will be a part of the Indian team in this series. The first match of this series will be historic for him, because as soon as he steps on the field, he will become the fifth player to play 500 international matches for India. This achievement will be a proud moment not only for Rohit but also for Indian cricket.
