Rohit Sharma on Verge of Historic Milestone in T20 Cricket
Rohit Sharma, the dynamic Indian cricketer, is on the verge of achieving a historic milestone in T20 cricket. With 497 sixes under his belt, Sharma needs just three more to reach the monumental mark of 500 sixes in T20 cricket. The stage is set for Sharma to make history during the Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings match at the Wankhede Stadium on April 14.
Despite a slightly subdued performance in IPL 2024 so far, Sharma has shown glimpses of his six-hitting prowess by smashing 10 sixes in five innings. Known for his ability to clear the ropes effortlessly, Sharma holds the record for the most sixes by an Indian in the IPL with 267 maximums to his name.
If Sharma manages to hit three sixes against CSK, he will not only become the first Indian batter to achieve the milestone of 500 T20 sixes but also join an elite group of batters worldwide. Currently, the record for the most sixes in T20 cricket is held by Chris Gayle with 1056 sixes, followed by Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, and Colin Munro.
As Mumbai Indians aim for a hattrick of wins in IPL 2024, Sharma’s potential record-breaking feat adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming clash against CSK. With his eye on the historic milestone, Sharma’s fans and cricket enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting to witness this significant moment in T20 cricket history.
