While all eyes will be on who will win IPL 2020, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma is on the cusp on touching three iconic landmarks in IPL. While Rohit has his eyes on his sixth IPL title after winning it four times with Mumbai Indians and once with Deccan Chargers, few personal milestones also await the Hitman. 

With the final of IPL 2020, Rohit will mark his 200th match in the Indian Premier League and will become the second player after MS Dhoni to bag the milestone. Rohit has so far played 199 matches in IPL – for Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians).

Rohit is also 43 runs away from reaching 3000 runs in the IPL as captain. The likes of Dhoni, Kohli and Gautam Gambhir have accumulated more than 3000 runs as captain of an IPL franchise.
