India skipper Rohit Sharma etched his name into the record books during the IPL 2025 clash between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad by becoming only the second Indian cricketer to surpass 12,000 runs in T20 cricket. Entering the game needing just 12 runs to reach the milestone, Rohit achieved the feat with characteristic flair, solidifying his legacy as one of the modern greats in the shortest format.
This remarkable achievement came during his 466th T20 appearance. Rohit now joins an elite club, following only Virat Kohli among Indian cricketers to reach this landmark. With a T20 career boasting eight centuries and an average of 30.81, the 'Hitman' continues to be a pillar of consistency and class at the top of the order.
