Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli First Indian Pair To Play 400 International Games Together

The pair have shared 48,574 international runs and 135 centuries, and they moved past Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid's 391-match mark.

  • On Sunday, India's Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli became the first Indian pair to feature together in 400 international matches, a milestone the BCCI hailed as a "massive feat for an iconic duo."
  • Their journey together began in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, on August 18, 2008, when both featured in their first ODI; they have since shared the dressing room through multiple ICC tournaments.
  • Together, the duo has amassed 48,574 international runs and 135 centuries, surpassing the previous Indian benchmark of 391 matches held by Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
  • Although both retired from Test and T20 Internationals, Rohit and Kohli remain central figures in India's ODI setup, where their ability to deliver in pressure situations makes them invaluable.
  • After losing the 2023 ICC World Cup final to Australia, the duo remains focused on securing the title in the next ICC World Cup, representing their biggest remaining career ambition.
