Joe Root Sets World Record for Most Runs Without Getting Out in ODI Series England’s senior cricketer Joe Root has achieved an extraordinary feat by setting a new world record for the highest individual score in a One-Day International (ODI) series without being dismissed. During the three-match ODI series against India, Root scored a total of 249 runs, surpassing the previous record held by Jos Buttler. This accomplishment highlights Root’s consistency and resilience under pressure, as he remained unbeaten throughout the entire series. The series, which took place in 2026, saw Root deliver standout performances in each match. In the first game at Edgbaston, he scored 76 runs, showcasing his ability to anchor the innings and build momentum. His innings was followed by a remarkable 99-run knock in the second match at Cardiff, where he not only reached a century but also played a pivotal role in securing a crucial victory for England. The final match at Lords saw Root contribute 74 runs, ensuring his team’s dominance in the series. Root’s achievement is particularly notable because it broke the previous record set by Jos Buttler, who had scored 248 runs against the Netherlands in 2022. Root’s total of 249 runs in the series against India now stands as the highest in ODI history for a player who remains unbeaten throughout the tournament. This record underscores Root’s exceptional batting skills and his ability to perform consistently in high-stakes situations. The list of players who have achieved similar feats includes Ricky Ponting, who scored 241 runs against New Zealand in 2007, and Javed Miandad, who amassed 234 runs against India in 1982. MS Dhoni also holds a notable record with 212 runs against England in 2011.#india #odi_series #joe_root #edgbaston #cardiff
Virat Kohli's upcoming ODI clash against England on July 16, 2026, holds immense significance as it could mark a pivotal moment in his career. The match, set to take place in Cardiff, is not just a test of skill but also a chance for Kohli to close the gap on his long-standing rival, Rahul Dravid, in the race for the highest run-scorer for India in England. Currently, Kohli stands at 2642 runs in the country, just 3 runs behind Dravid's 2645. A strong performance in Cardiff could propel him past the legendary batsman, cementing his legacy as one of India's greatest overseas performers. Kohli's prowess in England is well-documented, with his ability to adapt to the hostile conditions of the subcontinent's cricketing hotbed. His record across formats is equally impressive. In Test cricket, he has scored 1096 runs in 17 matches at an average of 33.21, including a highest score of 149. In ODIs, his tally of 1354 runs from 34 matches (average 50.14, strike rate 91.17) places him among the elite. His T20I exploits are no less remarkable, with 192 runs in 7 matches (average 32, strike rate 133.33). Collectively, these figures position him as a formidable force in international cricket. The Cardiff encounter also presents an opportunity for Kohli to challenge Rohit Sharma's record as India's highest run-scorer in England ODIs. Sharma currently holds the mark with 1439 runs from 28 matches. A score of 86 in Cardiff would see Kohli surpass Sharma, further solidifying his status as a dominant force in overseas conditions. Additionally, Kohli is on the cusp of achieving a personal milestone: 8000 career ODI runs. With 7935 runs to his name, a score of 65 in Cardiff would secure this landmark, placing him in an exclusive club of players who have achieved this feat. Kohli's achievements extend beyond individual stats.#virat_kohli #rohit_sharma #rahul_dravid #kumar_sangakara #cardiff
