Rohit Sharma eyes Dhoni’s record
IND vs SA Boxing Day Test: In 2023, Team India captain Rohit Sharma’s bat has been very strong. Rohit Sharma has performed very well across the country and abroad. He will play the final game of the year against South Africa at SuperSport Park in Centurion. In this game he can overtake former Indian team captain MS Dhoni with a great record.
Rohit Sharma eyes Dhoni’s record
Virender Sehwag is one of the frontrunners when it comes to scoring the most sixes for India in Test cricket. After that, MS Dhoni’s name comes in this list and Rohit Sharma is at number three. Hitman Rohit Sharma has hit a total of 77 sixes in the 88 innings played in the Test so far. At the same time, MS Dhoni has 78 sixes to his name in Tests. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma will overtake Dhoni in this tally once he hits two more sixes. On the other hand, Sehwag has a total of 90 sixes to his credit in Test cricket. If Rohit has to break Sehwag’s record, he has to hit 14 sixes.
Rohit’s statistics in South Africa are scary
Rohit Sharma has played 4 Test matches in South Africa so far. During this period he scored just 123 runs in 8 innings at an average of 15.37. The surprising thing is that he has yet to score a single half-century in Tests in South Africa. At the same time, Rohit has played a total of 9 Test matches against South Africa. During this period, Rohit scored 678 runs at an average of 42.37. He also has 3 centuries to his name against South Africa.
Team India is waiting for its first series win
Rohit Sharma also has a chance to change the story in this series. No Indian captain has won a Test series in South Africa so far. In such a situation, if Rohit manages to win the series this time, he will be the first Indian captain to do so. Team India has played 8 Test series in South Africa so far. Of these, India lost seven series and one series ended in a draw.
