IND vs NED: Rohit Sharma on the verge of achieving a massive milestone as an opener

IND vs NED: India is through to the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2023. They have displayed a dominating performance in the league stage of the tournament and have won 8 out of their 8 games. The Men in Blue will be next facing the Netherlands on Sunday (12th November) and would be hoping to extend their winning run.

One of the major reasons behind the success of India in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 is captain Rohit Sharma. The opening batter has looked a class apart in the tournament and has only believed in destroying the opponents. 

Rohit Sharma is on the verge of achieving a massive milestone in the ODIs as an opener.  He is just 14 runs away from 14,000 runs in international cricket as an opener. With the way he’s batting, it’s fair to say that he can complete it in the IND vs NED game. 

Rohit Sharma has given an aggressive start to the Indian team in almost every game he has played. His blistering start at the top of the innings has provided a great platform for the others to set in and take the team to wins.

Rohit Sharma has batted superbly and is the fifth-leading run-getter in the ICC World Cup 2023. The opening batter has scored 422 runs to his name at an average of over 55. He also has smashed one ton and two half-centuries as well.  

If Rohit Sharma can achieve 14000 runs as an opener in the IND vs NED game, it’ll be icing on the cake for the fans. He also would be hoping to guide his team to the victory. If they win, it’ll make 9 consecutive wins on the trot for them in the ICC World Cup 2023.
