NEW DELHI: In a landmark moment, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on Monday became the first player in history to hit 200 sixes in T20Is. The milestone was reached during a high-stakes T20 World Cup Super 8 encounter against Australia in St Lucia.
Rohit's feat stands head and shoulders above his contemporaries. The closest to his record is New Zealand's Martin Guptill, who has 173 sixes to his name. Despite Guptill's powerful hitting and consistent performance, Rohit's ability to clear the boundary with such regularity puts him in a league of his own.
