When Boruto was practicing to enhance his skill in episode 16x Kakashi
mentioned that he can't create Odama Rasengan because he has low Chakra
reserved. Likewise, several previous episodes also mentioned that he cant
create even more than 10 Shadow Clone.

Kakashi explained that Naruto can do it because he is a Jinjuriki. Now, that
is a bit contradicting since Konohamaru can actually do Odama and Taju as seen
in episode of chunin exam between Konohamaru and Naruto.

So, why can't Boruto use Odama Rasengan & Taju Kage Bunshin? But Konohamaru
can.

Why can't Boruto use Odama Rasengan & Taju Kage Bunshin?


After researching your question, I can see why there is confusion on to why
Konohamaru "can" use these justus while Boruto cannot. Unfortunately the
simple explanation is "because it's not-cannon"

When it comes to cannon, it is undetermined if Konohamaru can actually use
either Big-Ball Rasengan or Multi-Shadow Clone Justu. The only appearances of
him using these justus are in filler episodes1 and an OVA2.

While it been stated before that Konohamaru and Boruto both have large charka
reserves, Kakashi seems to be implying that it is not enough to safely perform
either justu without the charka provided by a tailed beast. By safely, I refer
to the reason why the Multi-Shadow Clone justu was marked as forbidden for
being a risk to the user's life due to exerting too much chakra
