India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI: Approaching ODI Records and ODI Cricket Milestones Ahead of third ODI in Colombo

2 – The former Indian captain Virat Kohli has smashed 1298 boundaries in ODIs. He needs another two fours to become only the fourth batsman to hit 1200 boundaries in 50-over cricket.
2 – Rohit Sharma loves hitting sixes, and he has hit seven sixes in the series so far. If he can manage to hit two more sixes, he will break Chris Gayle's record of 331 sixes and will jump to the second spot in the all-time six-hitting list in ODIs.
3 – Kuldeep Yadav has currently taken 171 wickets in 105 ODIs. If he can take three wickets, he will break Irfan Pathan's record (173) and will become the 10th highest wicket-taker for India in ODIs.
78 – Virat will also have big records on his mind. The Indian star has only scored 38 runs in the first two matches. But if he can score another 78 runs, he will complete 27000 runs in his international career and will become the fourth batter to score 27000 or more runs in international cricket.
114 – Not just in international cricket, Virat will also eye an ODI record. He is a run machine in this format, but his current form is under scanner. He needs another 114 runs to reach the 14000-run mark in the ODIs.
