NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma‘s ability to hit sixes consistently makes him one of the most prolific hitters in the modern game. And the Indian skipper on Sunday owned the record of becoming the first batter from the country to hit 500 sixes in T20 cricket.
Mumbai Indians’ batter Rohit got to the milestone during the IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium when he smacked Ravindra Jadeja for a slog sweep.
The list is led by West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who had smashed 1056 sixes in 463 matches. Rohit’s former MI’s teammate and current batting coach Kieron Pollard is second with 860 maximums in 625 matches in 660 matches.
