Kohli and Sharma Break Record for Most Matches Played Together for India
Ranchi, India – Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have etched their names further into Indian cricketing history, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid to become the Indian pair to play the most international matches together. The dynamic duo took to the field in Ranchi for their 392nd international appearance as a pair, eclipsing Tendulkar and Dravid’s previous record of 391 matches.
Kohli and Sharma were returning to the Indian team after a month-long break. Previously, they participated in all three matches of the ODI series against Australia. Kohli also features a second time on the list of most matches played by Indian pairings, as he has played 309 matches with Ravindra Jadeja, who was also included in the Ranchi ODI’s playing eleven.
The record comes amidst ongoing discussions about the pair’s future in international cricket, with many speculating whether they will continue playing until the 2027 World Cup. If they do, they will have a strong chance of joining the 400 match club as a pair.
While the Indian record is significant, Kohli and Sharma still have a way to go to break the world record, which is held by Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka, who played 550 matches together.
During the match against South Africa, Sharma scored 57 runs, breaking the record of hitting most sixes in ODI cricket.
