Sports News: Rohit Sharma is on the brink of making history in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The Mumbai Indians veteran has had a remarkable IPL career, and he is set to achieve another feat in his opening match. When Rohit takes the field against Chennai Super Kings on March 23rd, he will surpass Dinesh Karthik to become the second most capped player in IPL history.
Rohit Sharma to be Second Only to MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni currently holds the record for the most matches played in the IPL, with a total of 264 matches and 5243 runs. Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik were jointly ranked second with 257 matches each. However, as soon as Rohit plays his first match this season, he will overtake Karthik and secure the second position behind Dhoni.
Although Rohit Sharma will not be captaining Mumbai Indians this time, his presence will be invaluable to the team. He has led Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles, and his experience will undoubtedly benefit the team. Hardik Pandya will captain Mumbai Indians this season, while Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead Chennai Super Kings.
Kohli Holds Record for Most Matches Played for a Single Team in IPL
Regarding the most matches played for a single team, Virat Kohli holds the record. He has played 252 matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Virat is the only player in IPL history to have represented only one franchise throughout the league. Mumbai Indians will play their first match against Chennai Super Kings on March 23rd.
This match will not only be a clash between two legendary teams but will also mark a significant personal milestone for Rohit Sharma. All eyes will be on Rohit's performance, as he will become the second most capped player in IPL history the moment he steps onto the field.
