7 instances when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli ran each other out

#3 Virat Kohli vs Sri Lanka, Kolkata in 2014

Whenever Rohit runs Kohli out in ODIs, he will go on to score a double century. This line came into being after this match as Kohli was run out and Rohit went on to score an ODI 200 for the second time.

In the first of the two dead rubbers against Sri Lanka in 2014, Sharma came into the Indian team after a long injury lay-off. And in his very first innings back, he scored a world-record 264.

During the innings, he put on a 202-run partnership for the third wicket off just 26 overs. When Kohli was looking set for a century, he mishit a slog to the fielder at the cow corner region. The fielder, Seekuge Prasanna, went for the catch, but unfortunately, the ball bounced in front of him, however, he did well to keep it from going past him.

Then, he collected the ball and threw it to the keeper Dinesh Chandimal and the gloveman did nothing wrong as he disturbed the stumps with Kohli well out of his crease. By the time Kohli hesitated for the second run, Rohit had almost reached him and Kohli had to sacrifice his wicket there.

Sri Lanka failed to beat Rohit's score by 13 runs.
