Rohit Sharma Tops the List for Most Sixes in T20 International Cricket

In a spectacular display of power-hitting, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma made history by becoming the first player ever to hit 200 sixes in T20 Internationals (T20Is). He achieved this milestone during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in a Super 8 Group 2 match against Australia.

Rohit played an explosive innings, scoring 92 runs off just 41 balls. His knock included 7 fours and 8 massive sixes, earning him an incredible strike rate of 224.39. This brilliant performance is now the second-highest score by an Indian in a T20 World Cup and the second-highest by a captain in T20 World Cup history, just behind Chris Gayle’s 98 for the West Indies in 2010.

In this innings, Rohit set multiple records. The eight sixes he smashed are the most by any Indian batsman in a T20 World Cup match, breaking Yuvraj Singh’s previous record of seven sixes against England in 2007. Rohit also recorded his fastest T20 fifty, reaching the mark in just 19 balls, which is the quickest fifty ever against Australia in men’s T20I cricket.

Rohit’s innings powered India to a formidable total of 205/5 in their 20 overs. Australia’s response fell short, and they managed to score only 181/7, resulting in India’s victory by 24 runs. This win secured India a spot in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024, where they will face England.

Rohit’s achievement as the first player to hit 200 sixes in T20Is highlights his prowess as one of the most powerful hitters in cricket today. His performance not only helped India secure a crucial victory but also etched his name into the record books of T20 cricket.
