Rohit Sharma first to score 1,000 runs against one Franchise in IPL

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma became the first batter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history to score 1000 runs against a single team during Mumbai Indians’ (MI) contest against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Rohit achieved the feat during his 33-run knock against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in an IPL 2021 clash in Abu Dhabi. The knock took him past the 1000-run mark against KKR. He brought up more than 1000 runs against KKR in the third over of MI’s innings which was bowled by spinner Varun Chakravarty.

Rohit now has 1015 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders at an average of 46.13 and a strike rate of 132.16, including six fifties and one hundred.
