Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team’s talismanic opener, is poised to make history in the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. The prolific batsman is on the brink of surpassing the legendary Virender Sehwag’s record for the most sixes hit in Test cricket.
Sehwag, known for his aggressive batting style, currently holds the record with 90 sixes in 103 Test matches. Sharma, however, has amassed 88 sixes in just 88 Tests, putting him within touching distance of the coveted record.
Rohit Sharma's Six-Hitting Prowess
Rohit Sharma’s ability to clear the boundary with ease has been a hallmark of his batting. His clean hitting, coupled with his power and timing, has made him one of the most feared batsmen in the world.
Here are some of Rohit Sharma’s key statistics related to six-hitting in Test cricket:
- Total sixes: 88
- Average sixes per innings: 1.00
- Highest number of sixes in an innings: 6
If Rohit Sharma can maintain his current form and hit at least three sixes in the upcoming Test series, he will surpass Sehwag’s record. The series, which will be played in Bangladesh, presents an ideal opportunity for Sharma to achieve this feat.
Other Records Sharma Could Break
In addition to the record for most sixes, Rohit Sharma could also break several other records in the upcoming Test series. These include:
- Most runs in a Test series against Bangladesh
- Most centuries in a Test series against Bangladesh
- Highest individual score in a Test against Bangladesh
Sharma has a strong record against Bangladesh, and he will be eager to add to his tally in the upcoming series.
As Rohit Sharma prepares for the Test series against Bangladesh, cricket fans around the world will be watching with bated breath. The Indian opener has the chance to etch his name in the history books and cement his legacy as one of the greatest batsmen of all time.
