Reflexes
- The second match of the series will be played today between India and West Indies
- Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi’s record set to be targeted by Rohit Sharma
- Chris Gayle has hit the most sixes in international cricket so far
IND vs. WI: India team captain Rohit Sharma is considered a specialist six. When he is fit and batting well, no bowler can stand in front of him. He can hit sixes whenever and wherever he wants. This is the reason why he is included in the list of the players with the most sixes in international cricket. Today, when Rohit Sharma comes out to play in the second T20 match against the West Indies, a new record will be in his sights.
Chris Gayle has put up 553 sixes
West Indies’ Chris Gayle holds the record for hitting the most sixes in international cricket. He has hit 553 sixes in his career and for this he has played 483 games. In this case, Shahid Afridi of Pakistan is number two, who has hit 476 sixes in 524 matches. India’s Rohit Sharma is at number three. He has hit 473 sixes in 407 games. That is to say, Rohit Sharma is only three sixes behind Shahid Afridi. Rohit Sharma will match Shahid Afridi as soon as he hits three sixes, while he will outpace Afridi after hitting four sixes. The special thing is that Rohit Sharma may be a bit behind Shahid Afridi in terms of hitting sixes, but Rohit Sharma has played far fewer matches than Shahid Afridi. While Afridi has played 524 matches, Rohit will take the field today to play his 408th match.
These batsmen have also set records of six.
There has been talk of the number three, but who are the other two hitters in the top 5, they are also known. Rohit Sharma is followed by New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum, who has hit 398 sixes in 432 matches, and New Zealand’s Martin Guptill at number five, who has hit 378 sixes in 356 matches. In the first match played between India and West Indies, Rohit Sharma scored 64 runs from 44 balls. He also included two sixes. It remains to be seen whether or not Rohit Sharma’s bat plays in today’s game and how many runs he manages to score.
