Swashbuckling Indian vice-captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday added another feather to his already illustrious cap, equalling former cricketer Sourav Ganguly's record of being the third fastest to reach 8000 runs in ODI cricket.

Rohit, known as the Hitman, achieved this feat in his 200th inning during the fifth ODI against Australia at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground in Delhi. He came on to the field with 7954 runs and used only 67 balls to complete the feat.
