Rohit Sharma one hit away from becoming first Indian to reach 400 sixes

By Saurabh Sharma December 04, 2019 • 16:43 PM View: 1302

New Delhi, Dec 4: Rohit Sharma is just one six away from becoming the first Indian to reach 400 sixes in international cricket. He will also become just the third player overall to cross the milestone after former Pakistan and West Indies captains Shahid Afridi (476 sixes) and Chris Gayle (534 sixes).

Rohit has been a stalwart for India at the top of the order in limited overs cricket. While his Test career did not hit the same heights for a long time, the Indian team's decision to let him open the batting seems to have done the trick.
