With this accomplishment, Rohit joins an elite group of Indian cricketers, including:
- Sachin Tendulkar – 34,357 runs
- Virat Kohli – 27,910 runs

Performance Highlights
In the same match, India’s bowling attack was impressive. Kuldeep Yadav recorded outstanding figures of 4 wickets for 41 runs, while Prasidh Krishna claimed 4 wickets for 66 runs. Together, they bowled out South Africa for a total of 270 runs.
Quinton de Kock stood out for South Africa, scoring 106 runs off 89 balls, including eight fours and six sixes. Captain Temba Bavuma contributed with 48 runs from 67 balls.

Kuldeep’s Dominance in ODIs
Kuldeep Yadav’s performance in this match further solidified his reputation. This was his fifth four-wicket haul against South Africa, making him the third Indian bowler to achieve such a feat in ODIs, surpassing Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath in the process.
As of the latest statistics, Indian batsmen seem to be thriving, with Rohit’s achievement marking a new chapter in cricket history. The team’s current position during the match was a comfortable 90 runs without loss at the time of the report.
