The countdown to the Champions Trophy has begun, and with it, the Indian team’s mission to make a mark in the ICC tournament is about to kick off. The first match will see Pakistan take on New Zealand, while India’s first outing will be against Bangladesh on February 20. As we look ahead to this clash, let’s take a closer look at the batsman who has hit the most sixes in ODI matches between India and Bangladesh. Will this record be broken this time around?
## Combat against Bangladesh for India
The stage is set for the India-Bangladesh match at the Dubai International Stadium on February 20. Both teams are geared up, but India should be wary of taking their opponents lightly, given the high stakes of the Champions Trophy. After all, a single slip-up can prove costly, so it’s best to stay vigilant.
## Rohit Sharma has put the highest six in ODIs against Bangladesh
When it comes to hitting sixes against Bangladesh in ODIs, Rohit Sharma stands head and shoulders above the rest. With 27 sixes in 17 matches, he has set the bar high. Not only that, but Rohit has also racked up 786 runs in these 17 matches, with an impressive average and strike rate to boot. What’s more, the next best player on this list is none other than former captain Sourav Ganguly, who has hit 16 sixes in 10 ODIs against Bangladesh. That’s a significant gap between the top two batsmen, and it’s clear that Rohit is in a league of his own.
## Virat Kohli and Ishaan Kishan also named
Among active players, Virat Kohli is the next best after Rohit Sharma, with 11 sixes in 16 ODIs against Bangladesh. That’s a considerable difference between the first and second spot, making it a tough ask for anyone to surpass Rohit’s record. Ishaan Kishan, who famously hit a double century against Bangladesh, has 10 sixes to his name. As things stand, it’s unlikely that Rohit’s record will be broken anytime soon. The question now is whether Rohit can take his tally of 27 sixes beyond 30.
