Rohit and Kohli have lots to look forward to during the Asia Cup in terms of records and milestones.
Alur: The Indian team is in Alur where they are having a preparatory camp ahead of the Asia Cup. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian side would be one of the favourites to clinch the title. During the course of the tournament, premier India batters – Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma – would be in a chase to overhaul former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s elite record. Tendulkar has amassed 971 runs in Asia Cup ODIs and he finds himself in the third spot in the list of most runs. On the other hand, Rohit is on the fifth spot in the list with a total of 745 runs while Kohli, with 613 runs, finds himself in the 12th spot.
While Rohit needs 226 runs, Kohli is 358 runs shy of breaching Tendulkar’s feat. Given their reputation and capability, they would surely be in with a shot of going past Tendulkar. What makes it even more interesting is that who gets there first.
India are likely to face strong resistance from Pakistan in the Asia Cup, however, captain Rohit Sharma feels that not just Pakistan, but other teams will also test the Men in Blue.
‘It’s not just Pakistan, there are other teams,’ Rohit Sharma said on the hype around the India vs Pakistan clash as quoted by TOI.
‘Sri Lanka won the Asia Cup last year so there are teams who are playing good cricket and will challenge us,’ Rohit added.
India and Pakistan are set to clash on September 2 in Pallekele. The arch-rivals will again meet in the Super 4s if there are no upsets in the Group stage. The possibility of the teams clashing in the final can also not be denied.
