Rohit Sharma To Become Player With Most Sixes!

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is among the modern-day greats. He is dubbed as a big white-ball player. If we look at his stats everyone will accept this. But this did not happen overnight and there is a long journey which shows the path of Rohit Sharma's emergence as Hitman.

Rohit Sharma is known for his monstrous sixes and it is a treat to watch him bat. He makes batting looks easy. No one plays pull shots better than the skipper does. Over the years he established himself as the run machine by making one after the other.

Rohit Sharma is now just a few steps away from becoming the Sixer king. Rohit Sharma has 551 sixes to his name which is the second highest after West Indies Chris Gayle who smashed 553 sixes in his career.

If Hitman can smash two more sixes then he will emerge as the Sixers king. While Chris Gayle took 548 innings, Rohit Sharma took just 471 innings. Despite taking less number of innings, he's very close.

Rohit Sharma did not have a cakewalk in his career. Initially, he was a middle-order batsman and injuries played a big role. His career took a big turn when former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni made him an opener. Since then there has been no looking back.

In the 2019 edition of the World Cup, he smashed five centuries which is the highest in a single edition. He is the only batsman in the history to have scored three double tons. This tells us the impact he can create as a player.

No one can compete with him when it comes to smashing big hits. He is the only opener to smash over 250 sixes in the 50-over format. He has the highest sixes in the T20 format. He is in third place in the ODI format with 292 sixes. He is next to former Pak cricketer Shahid Afridi(351) and Chris Gayle(331). As the World Cup will be played in a few weeks Rohit Sharma will not only surpass the record and make new ones.
