They went past Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan, who had shared 20th-century stands, with only the iconic pair of Indian G2ravangula ahead of them. The record partnership came in their landmark 400th international match together, making Rohit and Kohli the first Indian pair to appear in 400 internationals alongside each other. While Kohli played a supporting role, Rohit led India’s reply with a magnificent 138, an innings that broke several records. The veteran opener became the first Indian batsman to score an ODI century at Lord’s and, at 39 years and 80 days, the oldest Indian to score an ODI hundred as well as the oldest Indian to score an international century across all formats.He has been involved in most of the 100+ partnerships in ODIs99 S Tendulkar87 V Kohli *73 Rohit Sharma *72 R Ponting67 To Sangakkara Their latest stand also enhanced their individual records among the most prolific partnership batsmen in ODI history. Kohli now has 87 century partnerships in the format, second only to Sachin Tendulkar’s 99, while Rohit moved to 73, overtaking Ricky Ponting’s 72. Rohit’s memorable innings eventually ended on 138 when he was bowled by Jacob Bethell, ending a knock that kept India’s chase alive after England had set a daunting target of 388. Earlier, England posted 387 for 3, the highest ODI total at Lord’s. Ben Duckett laid the foundation with a brilliant 141 while Jacob Bethell hit 91 in a 192-run opening partnership. Joe Root then continued his outstanding form with an unbeaten 74 before Jose Buttler’s explosive 41 from just 13 balls powered England to a formidable total. Despite the pressure of a massive chase, Rohit and Kohli once again displayed the chemistry that has defined Indian ODI batting for over a decade, adding another historic chapter to one of the format’s greatest partnerships.
