Indian captain Rohit Sharma could surpass Pakistan's legendary ex-player Imran Khan on a prestigious list in the upcoming ODI series against England. Under Rohit's leadership, India will face England in three One-Day Internationals before departing to Dubai for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 

Can Rohit Break Imran Khan's Record In IND vs ENG ODIs?

Meanwhile, Indian captain Rohit Sharma is on the brink of surpassing Imran Khan in an elite list. Rohit, who had a miserable time with the bat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will seek redemption in the England ODIs. The Mumbaikar is all set to open the batting for India, with Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli partnering him at the top order.

Talking about Imran Khan, the legendary cricketer, who led Pakistan to World Cup glory in 1992, amassed 5655 international runs as captain. Rohit, on the other hand, is placed just below Imran, having struck 5363 runs as the Indian skipper across formats. 

Thus, Rohit Sharma needs 293 runs to go past Imran in the list of highest run-getters as captain in international cricket. Although scoring 293 runs in a three-match series seems tough, Rohit can be backed to achieve the milestone, as he has a knack for scoring daddy hundreds in ODIs.

Rohit Sharma, who looked out of sorts on Australian soil, registered two failures on his Ranji Trophy comeback. In Mumbai's penultimate clash against Jammu & Kashmir, Rohit managed only 31 runs across two outings. So, the England series gives him a golden opportunity to redeem himself ahead of the Champions Trophy.
