As the Commonwealth Games 2022 (CWG 2022) begin in Birmingham, all eyes are on it. Especially the entry of women’s cricket with the India-Australia match has increased the attraction. The match, played on the first day of the Games on Friday 29 July, was much debated. But after this historic match, another Indian team landed on a Caribbean island thousands of miles away from England. This time the men’s cricket team came to show their strength and the team captain Rohit Sharma made a world record at the very beginning of the match. The five-match T20 series between India vs West Indies began on Friday July 29 at the Brian Lara Cricket Ground in Trinidad.
In the first match of the series, the Indian team came out to bat first. This time there was a new opening pair. Captain Rohit Sharma was there, along with Suryakumar Yadav who came in to bat, scored some quick runs early on, but then moved on. Meanwhile, captain Rohit was batting a little slow.
Broke the record with six
Soon Shreyas Iyer was also out. When the run rate started to slow down, captain Rohit Sharma decided to pick up the pace. In the eighth over of the innings, Rohit pulled off Alzari Joseph’s fourth ball and hit a brilliant six, as he often does. This six not only brought important runs for the team, but also brought back his record for Rohit.
With these sixes, Rohit again became the highest run-scorer in men’s T20 Internationals. He surpassed New Zealand’s Martin Guptill, who took the record from Rohit two days ago.
