ODI Series between India and England will commence soon. Following the twists and turns witnessed in the two T20 series, focus will shift on 50-over cricket. Though Team India wants to emerge victorious, the spotlight will be fixed on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Two batting stars of India are nearing a landmark in England which Rahul Dravid has enjoyed for many years. At the moment, Rahul Dravid holds the record of the most ODI runs for India in England, but Kohli and Rohit are very close to breaking that record.
Rahul Dravid was a prolific performer for Team India from 1996 till 2011. In 20 ODIs he scored 648 runs, which means that Dravid averaged nearly 38 runs per match. Though he scored seven half-centuries in England, he did not score any century in England till 2011. However, today his record could get surpassed. Virat Kohli has been playing superbly and has an excellent record in England. Kohli has scored 581 runs in 16 ODIs in England, including one century and four fifties. 'King Kohli' needs just 68 more runs to surpass Rahul Dravid and claim the top spot.
Although Rohit Sharma may currently trail in terms of total runs, he leads the pack when it comes to the rate of scoring in England. Rohit has amassed 410 runs in just 10 innings at a spectacular average of 58.57, featuring two magnificent centuries and two half-centuries. His highest score is an unbeaten 137. To overtake Rahul Dravid's tally, 'Hitman' needs to score 239 runs during this series. This task is certainly a bit challenging, but if Rohit finds his batting rhythm, he could easily achieve this target across three matches.
A look at the history of India's top performers in England reveals an impressive list. Rahul Dravid holds the top spot with 648 runs, while Sachin Tendulkar ranks second with 639 runs-including one century and four half-centuries-across 17 matches. Former captain Dhoni sits in third place with 613 runs and five half-centuries in 21 matches, boasting a highest score of an unbeaten 78. Virat Kohli is fourth with 581 runs, and former captain Sourav Ganguly is fifth with 565 runs in 16 matches. Additionally, Yuvraj Singh has scored 498 runs in 14 matches at an impressive average of 41.50.
