In a monumental achievement for Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma, the star batter for both Team India and the Mumbai Indians, etched his name in the record books by becoming the first Indian player to hit 500 sixes in T20 cricket.

The iconic ‘Hitman’ reached this remarkable milestone during Mumbai Indians’ exhilarating Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter against the Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium.

In a display of sheer brilliance and masterful batting prowess, Rohit showcased his vintage form, scoring an unbeaten 105 runs off just 63 balls. His scintillating innings was adorned with 11 boundaries and five towering sixes, captivating fans and pundits alike with his exquisite stroke play.

Amidst the flurry of wickets tumbling around him, Rohit assumed the role of the anchor, holding the innings together with his remarkable composure and unwavering resolve. Operating at a staggering strike rate of 166.67, the former Mumbai Indians skipper exhibited exemplary leadership on the field, guiding his team to a formidable total.

With the addition of these sixes, Rohit’s tally now stands at an impressive 502 sixes in T20 cricket, a testament to his unparalleled batting prowess and ability to dominate the game with his aggressive yet elegant style of play.

While Rohit’s feat is unparalleled among Indian cricketers, it is noteworthy to mention that the highest number of sixes in T20 cricket is held by West Indies legend Chris Gayle, closely followed by WI all-rounder Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, and Colin Munro.

In the ongoing IPL season, Rohit has been in sublime form, amassing 261 runs in six matches at an impressive average of 52.20 and a staggering strike rate of over 167, including a magnificent century that further underscores his status as one of the finest batsmen in the modern era of cricket.

As Rohit continues to rewrite the record books and inspire millions of cricket enthusiasts across the globe, his remarkable achievements serve as a testament to his unparalleled talent, dedication, and indomitable spirit on the cricketing field.
