Rohit Sharma on Sunday broke the record for scoring the most number of runs as an opening batsman in a calendar year. He achieved the feat against West Indies in the 2nd ODI of the 3-match series at Barabati Stadium. Rohit broke the 22-year-long record of former Sri Lanka's batsman Sanath Jayasuriya. Prior to the match, Rohit just needed 9 runs to break the record.
