India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2023: Milestones To Watch Out For Ahead Of India's Campaign Opener

India will kickstart their Asia Cup 2023 campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday and though Men in Blue's first and foremost priority will be the trophy, there are some personal milestones worth watching out for as well. Players could be involved in upto six matches if they reach the final. That gives them plenty of game time to reach some personal milestones and boost their statistics.

Here are some milestones to watch out for ahead of India's match against Pakistan:

Rohit Sharma (10,000 ODI runs)

He will become the sixth Indian to reach the landmark.

Virat Kohli (13,000 ODI runs, 26,000 International runs)

Making records is Virat's second nature. With the form he is in, it would not be surprising if he breaks some more in the Asia Cup. He is just 102 runs away from getting 13,000 runs in ODIs, becoming only the second Indian to do so. He is currently at 12,898 runs in 275 matches at an average of 57.32, with 46 centuries and 65 fifties, with the best score of 183.

He is also 418 runs away from completing 26,000 international runs. As he chases Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar's record of 34,357 international runs, fans have eyes on every run he gets. Currently, he has 25,582 runs in 501 matches at an average of 53.63, with 76 centuries and 131 fifties and best score of
