Known as Hitman, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is one of the most dangerous players in the world. He has been fantastic in all the formats of the game and has made several records which are still unbeaten. The best thing about Rohit is his way of batting and striking the ball. He makes it look easier than it is in real life. He can take on any bowler and can hit them around the park.
Let’s talk about the top three records by Rohit Sharma:
1. 3 ODI double-hundreds
While some cricketers may think it’s difficult to get a century in a 50-over competition, Rohit Sharma has scored multiple double-hundreds. In men’s ODI cricket, ten double hundreds have been scored thus far, three of which have been achieved by the ‘Hitman‘. Not a single player on the list has scored more than a hundred and fifty. It appears to be an unbreakable record and illustrates how challenging it is to reach the landmark.
2. Highest Individual score in ODIs (264)
Have you ever heard of someone thrashing a team all by themselves? A prime example of it was Rohit’s double century at the Eden Gardens on November 11, 2014, against Sri Lanka. Out of the three double hundreds the veteran made, his 264 off 173 balls was one the cricket world would never see again. 33 fours and 9 sixes in this merciless batting display.
3. Most sixes in international cricket – 582
One of such batters who can effortlessly send balls over the ropes is Rohit. With 582 sixes, Rohit eclipsed power hitter Chris Gayle of the West Indies for the record of most sixes in international cricket. In the ODI format, he also has the record for most sixes scored against a single opponent. In the 50-over format, he has amassed an astounding 86 sixes against Australia.
