He is now the fourth Indian to do so, following in the footsteps of cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Sourav Ganguly. Across all teams, he became the 10th player to reach this milestone.

Rohit reached the 11,000-run mark in just 261 innings, making him the second-fastest player to achieve this feat.
