Which opener holds the record of scoring the most international runs in a calender year?

The opener that holds the record of scoring the most international runs in a calendar year is Rohit Sharma. India’s Rohit Sharma on Sunday broke Sanath Jayasuriya’s 22-year-old record for most runs in a calendar year by an opener across formats.

Coming into the third and final One-day International against the West Indies in Cuttack, Rohit was only nine short of eclipsing the former Sri Lankan captain, who scored 2,387 runs in 1997. When the Rohit got out for a run-a-ball 63 at the Barabati Stadium, he aggregated 2,442 runs, which has included 10 hundreds and as many half centuries in the year, averaging 53.08 in 47 innings.
