Rohit Sharma Tops the List for Most Sixes

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma made history by becoming the first player to hit 200 sixes in T20 Internationals during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He achieved this milestone in a Super 8 Group 2 match against Australia.

Rohit delivered a scintillating knock, scoring 92 runs off just 41 balls. His innings included 7 fours and 8 towering sixes, with a strike rate 224.39. This remarkable performance is the second-highest score by an Indian in a T20 World Cup and the second-highest by a captain in tournament history, trailing only Chris Gayle’s 98 for the West Indies in 2010.

During this inning, Rohit shattered multiple records. His 8 sixes set a new record for the most by an Indian batsman in a T20 World Cup match, surpassing Yuvraj Singh’s 7 sixes against England in 2007. Rohit scored his fastest T20 fifty in 19 balls, the quickest fifty ever against Australia in men’s T20Is.

Thanks to Rohit’s heroics, India posted a challenging total of 205/5 in their 20 overs. Australia managed only 181/7 in response, giving India a 24-run victory and securing their spot in the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals against England.

Rohit’s milestone of 200 T20I sixes underscores his status as one of cricket’s most explosive hitters. His record-breaking performance not only powered India to a crucial win but also cemented his legacy in T20 cricket history.
