Rohit Sharma News / This world record of Rohit Sharma will not be broken now, the closest batsman is out

Rohit Sharma News: Asia Cup 2025 is going to be held next month, but the excitement and discussions about this tournament are at their peak right now. Cricket lovers are now eyeing the teams that will participate in this prestigious tournament. The Indian team's squad is likely to be announced on August 19, while Pakistan has already announced its team. The Pakistani team will be led by Salman Ali Agha, who has been leading brilliantly in recent times. However, this announcement surprised many, as star batsmen Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have once again not found a place in the team.

Meanwhile, Indian captain Rohit Sharma's world record for most runs in T20 Internationals is still in a strong position. Babar Azam's absence has made it clear that Rohit's record is safe for the time being.

Rohit Sharma: The uncrowned king of T20 Internationals

Rohit Sharma has achieved a different position with his batting in T20 Internationals. He has scored 4231 runs in 159 T20 International matches, which is the most runs scored by any batsman in this format. Rohit's average is 32.05 and his strike rate is 140.89, which shows his explosive batting. He has five centuries and 32 half-centuries to his name in this format, which is a proof of his consistency and aggression.

Babar Azam is closest to this record of Rohit, but given his current situation, this record seems difficult to break.

Babar Azam: Just 9 runs behind, still out of the team

Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has scored 4223 runs in 128 T20 International matches. He is only 9 runs behind Rohit Sharma. If Babar had got a chance to play a few more matches, he might have broken this record. But his recent performance, especially his low strike rate, has made his path difficult. Babar was not only removed from the captaincy, but now he has also been left out of the Asia Cup 2025 squad. This is a big setback in his cricket career and shows that his position in the team is not the same as before.

Four thousand run club: Rohit, Babar and Kohli

Only three batsmen have the distinction of scoring four thousand runs in T20 International: Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam and Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli has scored 4188 runs in 125 matches and is third on this list. No other batsman has been able to reach this milestone yet. Rohit's record seems safe until Babar returns to T20 International.

Will Rohit's record be broken?

This record of Rohit Sharma may be safe right now, but records are made and broken in cricket. The question is, will Babar Azam be able to regain his form and place in the team? Or will a new batsman challenge this record? All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma's performance in Asia Cup 2025 as he will not only try to lead his team to victory but will also look for an opportunity to strengthen his record further.
