Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is undoubtedly one of the excellent batters of 50-over cricket in the current format. Although the hitman had also shown his class in Test cricket, the traditional format of the game. But apart from that, speaking of his recent form in white-ball cricket, the 35-year-old failed miserably in the recently concluded 20-20 World Cup 2022.
The Mumbai batter is famously known as a ‘hitman’ in the cricket fraternity for his brilliant and exceptional batting abilities and skills. Nobody is unacquainted with the stats that Rohit Sharma has currently the highest number of sixes to his name for India in international cricket.
Notably, the five-time Indian T20 League winner skipper was on the top of the list of the batter who smashed the most sixes in the calendar year five years back since 2017.
Rohit has crossed the mark of former legendary Indian skipper MS Dhoni in hitting the highest number of sixes for the Indian team in international cricket. At present, Rohit has 496 sixes to his name at the highest level of the game throughout the formats.
Just a day back, Sharma was seen sweating in the gym to work on his fitness for India’s next Test tour against Bangladesh starting next month in December.
Apart from the current action on the field, a list of stats is going viral over social media which is displaying the brilliance of the Indian skipper. Five years back, during the calendar of 2017, the then 30-year-old senior Indian batter, Rohit was enjoying the form of his life in ODI cricket. Some Indian cricket fans have also reacted to the viral statistics on social media, they recalled the time when Rohit was used to hitting the maximums comfortably.
Here's how fans reacted:
