Rohit Sharma<\/a> became only the fifth Indian batter to complete 14,000 runs in List A cricket during India’s second ODI against Afghanistan on Wednesday.The former India captain reached the milestone during a quick 48 off 39 balls. His innings included six fours and two sixes and came at a strike rate of over 123 before he was dismissed by Rashid Khan. With that knock, Rohit took his List A tally to 14,038 runs from 356 matches. He has also scored 37 centuries in the format, which includes one-day matches played at international, domestic and state levels.Among Indian batters, only four players have scored more List A runs than Rohit. Sachin Tendulkar leads the list with 21,999 runs in 551 matches and 60 centuries. He is followed by Virat Kohli (16,447 runs), Sourav Ganguly (15,622 runs) and Rahul Dravid (15,271 runs).Afghanistan won the toss and elected to field first in the second ODI.India’s innings was led by captain Shubman Gill<\/a> and Ishan Kishan<\/a>, who shared a 224-run partnership for the third wicket and helped the hosts post 402 all out.As part of India’s preparations for next year’s World Cup, Yashasvi Jaiswal opened the innings alongside Rohit Sharma, while Gill moved down to No. 3. However, Jaiswal was dismissed for 4 in the second over.Rohit looked comfortable during his stay at the crease and appeared set for a bigger score before Rashid Khan’s googly found an inside edge and hit the stumps.Gill then took charge of the innings and went on to score 154. The hundred was his ninth in ODIs and his first since becoming India’s full-time ODI captain.Kishan provided strong support and made 125, registering his second ODI century and his first since his double hundred against Bangladesh in December 2022.The pair’s 224-run stand laid the foundation for India’s total of 402, putting the hosts in a strong position.India won the match by 170 runs in the second ODI in Lucknow on Wednesday and sealed the three-match series 2-0.<\/div>\n
