on Wednesday as team India is gearing up for the first ODI against West Indies, scheduled on Sunday, September 24. Both the cricketers are approaching the end of their respective international careers, and are only active in the fifty-over format for the national side. Considering they will play their first international assignment in over a few months, Indian fans can barely contain their excitement.
However, the most recent visuals of their favourite ‘Ro-Ko’ duo have taken the internet by a storm. In the pictures, Kohli and Sharma could be spotted together in their practice kits in what seemed to be an ad shoot for team India. As stated, both the former captains are only active in the ODI format, and are returning to cricket field for the first time following the England series that took place in July. It turned out to be a decent outing for both the batters individually despite the fact that the team suffered a loss.
While Kohli came up with two back-to-back fifties, Sharma recorded a historic hundred and became the only Indian batter to record a century at the Lord’s.

How do Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Stats Look Like Against West Indies?
Ahead of the ODI series opener against West Indies on September 27, let’s have a look at how both the batters have performed against the Caribbean side over the years.
Virat Kohli has played 43 games against the West Indies and has scored 2,261 runs in 41 innings. He maintains an average of 66.50 and a strike rate of 96.95. The 37-year-old has had 11 fifties and nine hundreds with 157* recorded as his best score. On the other hand, 39-year-old Rohit Sharma has played 37 games and scored 1,613 runs in 35 innings with an average of 57.60 and a strike rate of 91.85. Hitman, as he is fondly called, has recorded 12 hundreds and three fifties with 162 being his best score.
There are a few key records that both can break in the upcoming games and series including-
Rohit Sharma needs one century to become the first player to score an ODI hundred at the age of 39 for India. With this, he can also become the oldest centurion against West Indies in ODIs as well as the most number of ODI hundreds against West Indies by an Indian opener.
He is also 105-runs short from reaching the 12,000-run mark in ODIs and 135 runs short from reaching 10,000 ODI runs as an opener. Sharma needs 18 fours to reach 2,000 fours mark in international cricket, and six sixes to record most against West Indies in ODIs.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli needs 59 runs to become the fastest batter to reach 15,000 ODI runs. He is also two centuries short of recording the most List A centuries. Kohli needs 110 runs to become the player with most ODI runs at home, and 271 runs to own the most international runs against West Indies.
