Rohit Sharma said goodbye to this format immediately after winning the T20 World Cup, but this player is still batting in the same format. In the first T20 match against Sri Lanka in Colombo, Rohit wreaked havoc with his bat. Captain Rohit Sharma scored a half-century in just 33 balls. During this half-century, he also made a big world record in his name.

Rohit came to the crease and dominated...

Captain Rohit gave a great start to Team India chasing the target of 231 runs given by Sri Lanka. Rohit made his intentions clear by hitting a long six on the second ball itself.

Rohit did not stop after this and completed his half-century before the powerplay ended by hitting 3 sixes and 7 fours. This is the third time he scored an ODI half-century in the powerplay, which is the best record from India after Sehwag.

Rohit Sharma's world record

As soon as Rohit Sharma completed his half-century with a six, he broke a big world record. Rohit Sharma has become the captain who has hit the most sixes in international cricket. Rohit has hit 234 sixes and has left Eoin Morgan behind. Before Morgan, Rohit had surpassed MS Dhoni who had hit 211 sixes.

Hitman goes right from the go!
