India vs England ODI Series: Virat Kohli Just 68 Runs Away From Breaking Rahul Dravid's England Record

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.
