Rohit Sharma is on fire this IPL season. He recently scored a half-century against Rajasthan Royals, marking his third consecutive fifty. Sharma hit 53 runs off 36 balls, but surprisingly, he didn’t hit a single six in that match.
A Step Away from a Milestone
Rohit was just three sixes shy of becoming the second player to hit 300 sixes in the IPL. Currently, Chris Gayle holds this record with 357 sixes. Notably, no Indian player has achieved this feat yet. Gayle last played in the IPL in 2021.
Rohit’s IPL Stats
Rohit has played 267 IPL matches, scoring 6,905 runs with 297 sixes and 624 fours. He is close to achieving the 300-six milestone. If he had hit three sixes against Rajasthan Royals, he would have reached this milestone.
Rohit’s fans don’t need to be disappointed. He can achieve this record in the remaining matches of this season. Mumbai Indians have three league matches left, and if they make it to the playoffs, Rohit will have more opportunities to hit the milestone. Reaching 300 sixes will make Rohit the leading Indian player with this achievement.
