How Few Balls Sharma Needs to Surpass Sunil Yadav’s 2,000‑Run Feat

With a strike rate that often exceeds 130, Abhishek Sharma is poised to topple Sunil Yadav’s fastest‑2000‑run record. Yadav’s 2,000 runs came off 1,164 balls, while Sharma has faced 997 balls for 1,947 runs. The difference translates into an estimated 20‑25 balls needed for Sharma to finish his 2,000th run, a feat that could be achieved in a single aggressive spell during the Ranchi encounter. Should he succeed, the list of quickest 2,000‑run makers will shift dramatically.
