India skipper Rohit Sharma on Thursday made and broke several records with the team's 50-run win over England in the first T20I of the three-match series at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.
While the match on Thursday night saw Rohit becoming the first captain to record 13 successive wins in T20Is as a skipper, the game also saw him surpassing Virat Kohli for a huge milestone.
Rohit became the fastest Indian player to reach the landmark of 1,000 T20I runs as a captain. Leading India against England, Rohit needed 13 runs to achieve the feat and he scored 24 runs off 14 balls in the game.
Rohit reached the milestone in his 29th T20I innings as captain, while Kohli had achieved the same feat in 30 innings. Overall, Babar Azam is the quickest to reach 1,000 T20I runs as a skipper by reaching the landmark in just 26 innings.
