Team India captain Rohit Sharma has shown his tremendous form as soon as the World Cup 2023 starts. First he played a brilliant innings against Afghanistan and then played such an innings against Pakistan that the entire Pakistani team kept watching. It is another matter that Rohit Sharma was out without opening the account in the first match against Australia, but now the way he is batting, not only Rohit Sharma but the entire Team India heaved a sigh of relief. The entire World Cup is still left, it should be expected that they will continue to play like this in future too. Meanwhile, while playing against Pakistan, Rohit Sharma created another new record. Chris Gayle, one of the explosive batsmen of West Indies, and Shahid Afridi of Pakistan have been left far behind him.

Rohit Sharma also completed 300 sixes in ODI cricket

Rohit Sharma has now joined the list of select batsmen in the world who have hit more than 300 sixes in One Day Internationals. Till now only Chris Gayle and Shahid Afridi were such batsmen. But the interesting thing is that Rohit Sharma has achieved this special position before these two batsmen. If we talk about this time, Shahid Afridi has the most number of sixes in his name in ODIs. In his career, he has hit 351 sixes in 369 innings of 398 matches. At second place is Chris Gayle of West Indies. He has scored 331 runs in 301 ODI matches. But Rohit Sharma has hit 302 sixes in only 254 ODI matches. From this it can be understood how much ahead of Rohit Sharma is compared to the other two batsmen. Maybe Rohit Sharma may break Chris Gayle's record by hitting more than 331 sixes in this ODI World Cup. In the match played against Afghanistan, Rohit Sharma had broken the record of hitting most sixes in international cricket. Rohit Sharma now has the maximum number of international sixes. Including T20, Test and ODI, Rohit Sharma has hit more than 556 sixes so far, while Chris Gayle is only at 553.

Rohit Sharma took charge against Pakistan from the very first ball

Rohit Sharma had shown from the very beginning in today's match with what mood he had come to the field. Rohit Sharma had hit a four on the very first ball of Shaheen Shah Afridi. After this, Shubman Gill, who was playing his first match in the World Cup, took charge. He destroyed the Pakistani bowlers. However, he was out after scoring 16 runs. After this, Virat Kohli also got out after scoring 16 runs. After this, Rohit Sharma again started batting vigorously. He not only played big strokes on the weak balls but also sent the good balls out of the boundary. He once again completed his century and then moved towards a century. But before that he was out after scoring 86 runs. He was dismissed by Shaheen Shah Afridi. But by then he had taken the team to the threshold of victory.
