Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and veteran Virat Kohli eyeing special milestones ahead of the India vs West Indies ODI Series 

In a splendid start to their tour, Team India roared to a sensational victory over the West Indies cricket team, taking the lead in the two-match Test series with an emphatic win. Dominating the Test opener in Dominica, India secured a resounding victory by an inning and 141 runs, setting the stage for a thrilling contest in the World Test Championship. 

While the West Indies put up a valiant fight in the second Test in Trinidad, their hopes were dampened by the rain gods. The game was extended until the final day, but rain interruptions resulted in a draw, granting both teams a point apiece. While the Caribbeans breathed a sigh of relief for avoiding a whitewash, India was left yearning for a more decisive result. 

As the cricketing action shifts to the much-awaited WI vs IND 2023 ODI series, the excitement reaches a crescendo. The first of the three-match ODI series is all set to ignite the cricketing stage on July 27 at the iconic Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. Both teams are geared up to unleash their arsenal and draw first blood in the series.  

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma eyeing special feats 

Adding to the anticipation, two cricketing stalwarts, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, have their sights set on monumental milestones in the upcoming WI vs IND 2023 ODI series. Virat Kohli, the torchbearer of modern-day batting brilliance, currently reigns as the leading run-scorer in One Day Internationals among active players. His staggering tally of 12,898 runs at a jaw-dropping batting average of 57.32 has been the stuff of legends. 

Notably, the cricketing maestro has crafted 46 centuries and 65 half-centuries in the 50-over format. Just 102 runs shy of the momentous 13,000-run milestone, the run machine is determined to leave an indelible mark in the upcoming games and etch his name further in the annals of cricketing history. 

Meanwhile, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, the master of consistency and elegance, boasts a phenomenal record of 9825 runs in 236 ODI innings, with a spectacular batting average of 48.6. His illustrious career boasts 30 centuries, 48 half-centuries, and a remarkable three double centuries. With a mere 175 runs left to complete 10,000 runs in ODIs, Rohit Sharma is tantalizingly close to achieving this extraordinary feat. 

If his recent form is anything to go by, the dashing opener might well conquer the 10,000-run milestone during the forthcoming WI vs IND 2023 ODI series. In doing so, Rohit has the potential to become the second-fastest batsman in ODI cricket history to reach this landmark, setting the stage for a momentous celebration. 

While Virat Kohli holds the record for the fastest to reach 10,000 ODI runs, having achieved the feat in just 205 innings, Rohit Sharma seeks to outshine the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who currently occupies the second spot with 259 innings.
