Ishan Kishan sets T20I record by scoring 80 runs in match against Sri Lanka

During the second ODI match against West Indies in Guwahati, Rohit Sharma set several significant records. Chasing the target of 405 runs, Sharma reached the mark of 12,000 ODI runs, thereby breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record.

This milestone was achieved by him in his 282nd game. Because of this, he became the second fastest player in the world to reach 12,000 ODI runs. Previously, Virat Kohli had surpassed this benchmark, doing so in 242 games, and Sachin Tendulkar reached this figure in 300 games.

Currently, Rohit has only 12,028 runs in 282 games played across 290 matches. Thus, Rohit became the third Indian player to accumulate 12,000 ODI runs, following Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

After achieving this feat, Rohit continued to play aggressively against West Indies, scoring his 101st strike for 72 balls. This marked his thirty-fifth century in ODIs. However, his innings ended immediately after reaching this result when Jaden Silas dismissed him via LBW. He scored 101 runs off 75 balls.

Rohit provided the team with a strong start alongside captain Shubman Gill, completing a half-century in 38 balls and accelerating the chase for 405/7 from West Indies.

It is worth noting that in the first ODI played in Tiruvannanthapuram, Rohit scored only 32 runs. His performance in Guwahati was a contrast. In 2026, his form in ODIs attracts attention. Before this match, he had scored 411 runs in 10 ODIs, with an average of 41.10. Among these matches was the game against England at Lord's, where he scored 138 runs. After retiring from Tests and T20 Internationals, Rohit is focusing exclusively on ODIs, and his current form is important for the Indian team ahead of the 2027 World Cup.

In the match between India and West Indies, players from the West Indies demonstrated strong play, dealing a serious blow to the Indian bowlers. John Campbell, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangu each scored a century, bringing the West Indies total to 405 runs. In rainy conditions, Kuldeep Yadav recorded a significant record.

In his 123rd ODI match, Kuldeep Yadav completed his 200th wicket, becoming the second fastest bowler in Indian history to reach this milestone. He is only surpassed by Mohammed Shammi, who took 200 wickets in 104 ODIs. Following him are Ajit Agarkar (133), Zaheer Khan (144), and Anil Kumble/Javagal Srinath (147).

Kuldeep secured his 200th wicket of Kemi Paul, who was caught by Virat Kohli in the long-on region after 45.1 overs. This moment marked Kuldeep's achievement of a double century in ODIs. Furthermore, Kuldeep surpassed Shane Warne in the number of balls required to achieve 200 ODI wickets, completing them in only 6319 deliveries. Among spinners, only Shaklan Mushtaq (5451) and Rashid Khan (5782) achieved this result with fewer balls. Following Kuldeep are Adam Jampa (6385), Adil Rashid (6881), and Shane Warne (6983).

Despite the record attack by the West Indies, Kuldeep remained among the few Indian bowlers who managed to partially contain the pace of the game. In his full quota of 10 overs, he took 2 wickets, conceding 65 runs, resulting in an economy rate of 6.50.

Before the West Indies reached 405 runs, Campbell scored 101 runs off 68 balls, Hope scored 104 runs off 94 balls, and Jangu scored 114 runs off just 77 balls. This was a rare sight in one ODI match where three batsmen score a century.

In the Under-19 Youth Test match being held at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, 17-year-old Indian opener Lakshya Raichandani delivered a brilliant performance. Playing against Australia A, he scored a double century and achieved several significant records.

Lakshya Raichandani scored 240 runs in this match. Through this impressive innings, he has knocked on the door of Team India, which is receiving continuous praise from fans on social media. This performance proves that many players coming from the Under-19 Youth Test can become part of the Indian Test team in the future, and it is now up to the selectors when they include this batsman in the team.

Scoring 240 runs off 281 balls, Lakshya Raichandani became the first player in the history of the Under-19 Youth Test to score a double century against Australia. During this innings, he hit 24 fours and 4 sixes. Previously, this record belonged to Pakistan's Farhan Adil, who scored 175 runs against Australia U19 in Lahore in March 1997.

This score, made by an Indian U19 batsman in the Youth Test, is the second-highest individual score. Pawan Shah holds the top spot in this category, having scored 282 runs against Sri Lanka U19 in 2018. Additionally, Lakshya's score also registers as the sixth-highest individual score in the history of the Youth Test.

Looking at the context of the match, the Australia U19 team was all out for 217 runs in their first innings. Ishan Om bowled a deadly spell taking 5 wickets for India, while Mohit Ulwa took 3 wickets and captain Yashvardhan took 2 wickets.

When the Indian team came to bat, there were some initial difficulties, and the team's score dropped to 170/2 before reaching 173 for 5 wickets. However, Lakshya held one end strongly. He played a superb partnership of 124 runs with captain Yashvardhan Chauhan (54 runs) for the second wicket.

Subsequently, when India's score was 293/8, Mohit Ulwa (92 runs, 84 balls) came to the crease. These two players together forged a massive partnership of 180 runs for the ninth wicket, taking the team's total score to 494 runs. Thus, India gained a significant lead of 277 runs based on the first innings.
