Indian opener Rohit Sharma, who is leading Team India with Virat Kohli being rested for the fifth T20I against New Zealand at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday, achieved a massive feat in international cricket as the Hitman became the eighth Indian to complete 14,000 runs. Rohit achieved the feat after touching the 31-run mark in the final T20I of the series as he joined the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag and Mohammad Azharuddin in an elite list with 14,000 or more international runs for India.
While Rohit is the latest entrant in the 14k club for India, the likes of Azharuddin (15,593), Sehwag (17,253), MS Dhoni (17,266), Ganguly (18,575), Kohli (21,777), Dravid (24,208) and Tendulkar (34,357) are other Indian cricketers to have achieved the iconic feat in their respective careers.
Tendulkar sits atop the highest run-scorer charts in international cricket, whereas, the likes of Kumar Sangakkara (28,016), Ricky Ponting (27,483), Mahela Jayawardene (25,957) and Jacques Kallis (25,534) complete the elusive top five of highest run-scorers in the history of international cricket.
