ODI World Cup 2023: Check out list of records which can be created in upcoming India vs Bangladesh clash
India and Bangladesh are poised to face each other in the 17th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup on October 19, which will be held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. The Indian team has started the tournament on a strong note, winning their first three matches convincingly. In contrast, the Bangladeshi team, known as the Bangla Tigers, has faced setbacks with two losses in their three matches so far.
Despite India’s initial success, they must not underestimate Bangladesh, considering that they suffered a recent defeat at the hands of the Bangladeshi team in the Asia Cup. Furthermore, this upcoming clash presents an opportunity for players from both sides to set new records and make a mark for themselves. With that in mind, let’s explore the potential records that may be established in this upcoming match.
Rohit Sharma to score 18,000 international runs
Indian cricket team Rohit Sharma has been in brilliant form in the ongoing tournament so far. He has scored 17,859 runs in international cricket so far and is just 141 runs away from achieving the 18,000 international runs milestone.
Shreyas Iyer eyes 100 international sixes
India’s star middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer is known for hitting huge sixes. It won’t be wrong to say that he is currently the biggest six-hitter in the Indian camp. Iyer has hit 96 sixes in international cricket and is just 4 sixes away from achieving the 100 international sixes milestone.
Virat Kohli eyes 26,000 international runs
The modern-day great Virat Kohli already has multiple records to his name. However, in the upcoming clash between India and Bangladesh, we can see him reaching the 26,000-run milestone in international cricket. He is just 37 runs away to create this record.
Najmul Hossain Shanto eyes 1,000 ODI runs
Bangladesh’s young middle-order batter Najmul Hossain Shanto is one of the most consistent batters in the current Bangladesh squad. The left-handed batter has scored 974 runs in 33 ODI matches which means he is just 26 runs away to score 1000 ODI runs. He can achieve this milestone in the upcoming match against India.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz to play 150th ODI match
Bangladesh have produced one of the greatest spin-allrounders in the world, Shakib Al Hasan. But their 25-year-old allrounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has impressed a lot in recent years. He has already played 149 international matches and will be playing his 150th match against India.
Shubman Gill can break Hashim Amla’s record
India’s young sensation Shubman Gill has been in dream form in the ongoing year 2023. He is just 67 runs away from reaching the milestone of 2,000 runs in ODI cricket. If he manages to accomplish this in the upcoming three matches, he will surpass Hashim Amla’s record and become the quickest player to reach 2,000 ODI runs.
