NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli marked another milestone on Sunday as they played their 392nd international match together during the first ODI against South Africa in Ranchi, setting a new record for an Indian pair.

The duo now leads the list of Indian pairs with the most matches played together, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar-Rahul Dravid partnership, which featured in 391 games. Other notable pairings include Rahul Dravid-Sourav Ganguly (369 matches), Sachin Tendulkar-Anil Kumble (367 matches), and Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly (341 matches).

Their remarkable partnership, which spans more than a decade, has been a cornerstone for India across formats. With both having retired from Tests and T20Is, their appearances together in ODIs have become increasingly rare, making this milestone even more special for fans.

Ro-Ko’s relentless commitment

Kohli emphasized that whenever he steps out to play for India, he gives nothing less than 100 percent.

“Look, I’ve been very sure of the fact that once I make myself available to play, I arrive at my 100 percent capacity. That’s how I’ve always played my cricket. I’ve never arrived to a series or a tournament at even 95 percent,” said Kohli in a video post by BCCI.

Rohit said his drive and determination remain unchanged, just as it was when he began playing at the age of 20.

“I started playing at 20. My drive was very similar to what it is now. The mindset of coming out and doing well, giving your best, whatever you have inside you has remained the same,” said Rohit.
