India’s star batsman Rohit Sharma already holds many records in One Day (ODI) cricket, which are not easy for any batsman to achieve. Now there is a special record in his sights.
If Rohit achieves this record, he will become the first player in the world to achieve such a feat. Secondly, Rohit can hold two big world records in his name with this. One of those records will be one that looks difficult to break for many decades to come.
Just 17 sixes away from making history
Rohit Sharma is just 17 steps away from completing 400 sixes in ODI cricket. If he achieves this feat in the remaining matches of the current ODI series against New Zealand or the subsequent home series against Sri Lanka, he will become the first batsman in the world to hit 400 sixes in ODI cricket history. He also currently holds the record for most sixes in this format.
Not only that, Rohit has a chance to achieve a big feat in international cricket as well. He is just 24 sixes away from completing 700 sixes across all three formats combined. If he reaches this figure, he will become the first batsman in the world to hit 700 sixes in international cricket. Currently, Rohit holds the record for most sixes in both international cricket and ODIs.
The record of 400 ODI sixes was not easily broken
Rohit’s reach of 400 sixes in ODIs will also be special as the number of ODIs played by teams nowadays is less than in the past. It will be a big challenge for any batsman to play ODI cricket for a long time and reach this level.
Apart from this, nowadays many players are giving more priority to T20 cricket. It will not be easy for any batsman to reach this record of Rohit. The remaining three matches of the current series against New Zealand will be very important for Rohit.
His performance so far on this tour has not lived up to expectations. Then the Indian team has to play three one-day matches against Sri Lanka at home this year as well. In these 6 matches, Rohit will have a chance to take his record to new heights.
