2017 ICC Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma Congratulates Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli For Incredible Achievements

The Indian ace cricketer Rohit Sharma took to Twitter to congratulate the Indian skipper Virat Kohli – who complete his 8000 ODI runs yesterday – and Yuvraj Singh – who became only fifth Indian cricketer to play 300 ODIs. Here is what Rohit Sharma tweeted –

The achievement came in the game against Bangladesh, where India defeated them to qualify for the final where they will face none other than Pakistan in the quest to retain the cup.

It were the collective efforts from the team that saw India first stopping on a low total of 264 followed by Indian batsmen getting to the task of chasing it down easily, to get into the finals for the second consecutive time.

There were two great records achieved in this game as first it was Yuvraj Singh was marked his presence in 300th ODI, becoming just fifth Indian cricketer to achieve this record. The Indian all-rounder was felicitated by BCCI before the start of the game, to mark his achievement. Incidentally, it was Champions Trophy only where Yuvraj made his ODI debut in the year 2000.

Coming to Kohli, the Indian skipper vaulted into record books by completing 8000 runs in ODI cricket in 175 innings. He played an innings of 96*, not showing any temptation to score his century as he had an opportunity to touch the hundred run mark but he assured that team does not lose any wicket and seal a victory by a margin of nine wickets.

India will now face Pakistan in the final of Champions Trophy with an eye on the elusive Cup, for the second running time.
