Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma: Who scored most ODI runs for India in 2025?

New Delhi: India had a remarkable year in ODI cricket as the Men in Blue lifted the 2025 Champions Trophy title after beating New Zealand in the final. Earlier this year, they also whitewashed England 3-0 in a home ODI series and wrapped it by defeating South Africa 2-1 at home.

The only setback for Team India came against Australia, when they lost the three-match ODI series by 2-1. Following the Champions Trophy triumph, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirements from Test cricket during the IPL 2025.
