Rohit Sharma IND vs Australia: The first match of the three match T20 series is played between India and Australia at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. In this match, India teed off in the third with a score of 21. Captain Rohit Sharma left the crease as the first wicket. He scored 11 runs on 9 balls in his short innings and became a victim of Josh Hazlewood. The Mumbai batsman also hit a six off four in his innings. This six made him jointly at the top of T20 International cricket history.
Rohit created history
When India’s captain Rohit Sharma came into the box to bat first after losing the toss, he came very close to achieving a special record. Although as a hitter he couldn’t do anything special in the game, he tied a record for the amount of time he stayed. He became the Sixer King in the first game of the series against Australia. However, to become the batsman with the most sixes in T20 cricket, Hitman needed two sixes. If he had hit two sixes, he would have made the world record for most sixes in T20 Internationals. He was only able to hit one six, making him the top six scorer in T20 International cricket.
- Martin Guptill: 172
- Rohit Sharma: 172
- Chris Gayle: 124
- Eoin Morgan: 120
- Aaron Pinzon: 117
New Zealand starter Martin Guptill held the record for hitting the most sixes in T20 Internationals. Guptill has hit 172 sixes in 117 innings of 121 games. At the same time, Rohit Sharma has now matched Guptill in hitting 172 sixes in 129 innings of 137 games.
500 in international cricket Rohit close to hitting sixes
Before leaving for the T20 World Cup, Rohit has eight more international matches to play. After Mohali, two more matches against Australia and three T20s and three ODIs against South Africa. In these eight matches, Rohit has a chance to make another six-related achievement. If Rohit hits a further 14 sixes in this series, he will become the second cricketer in the world to hit 500 sixes in international cricket. So far, only Chris Gayle has hit more than 500 sixes. Rohit has so far hit 486 sixes in 415 international cricket matches and is second in terms of hitting the most sixes. While Caribbean stalwart Chris Gayle tops this list with 553 sixes in 483 matches.
