Talking about Rohit Sharma’s ODI records, he has scored 11168 runs in 265 innings played in 273 matches. This includes 32 centuries and 58 half -centuries. He is the world’s highest run -scorer in this format, he scored 264 runs against Sri Lanka. Virat has scored 14181 runs in 290 innings of 302 ODIs. His highest score in this format is 183 runs. Kohli is the highest century batsman in ODIs, he has scored 51 centuries and 74 half -centuries. Seeing the records, one thing is clear that replacing both of them in ODIs would probably be the most difficult task for the selectors because the form of both was bad in the test, so it was easy to exclude them but it would be difficult to remove both in the ODI format because their performance in this format has been great.
