AHMEDABAD, India : Umpire Marais Erasmus was not the only one marvelling at Rohit Sharma's six-hitting prowess during India's comprehensive victory in Saturday's World Cup blockbuster against Pakistan.
It was supposed to be the most intense match of World Cup 2023. But it ended up being one of the most one-sided contests as India cruised to a seven-wicket win in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma added another major milestone to his already illustrious career as he became the first India batter ever to slam 300 sixes in ODI cricket. Rohit looked in tremendous touch during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday and he was able to reach the milestone with his fourth six of the innings. Overall, he joined West Indies legend Chris Gayle and former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi as the batters with more than 300 ODI sixes. For India, MS Dhoni is second with 229 sixes.
India captain Rohit Sharma scored a dominating century in his side's eight-wicket win over Afghanistan on Wednesday. India crushed Afghanistan to record a second victory on the trot in the ongoing ODI World Cup with Rohit breaking several records en route a superb 131 off 84 balls. The hosts reached the second spot in the points table after achieving the victory target of 273 with 15 overs to spare. Rohit became the first Indian to score seven World Cup hundreds, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday became the first Indian to score seven world cup hundreds, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar during their Cricket World Cup 2023 clash against Afghanistan in New Delhi. While Tendulkar recorded six centuries in as many editions of World Cups that he played -- 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011, Rohit achieved the feat in only three: 2015, 2019 and 2023. Rohit also holds the record of scoring most centuries (five) by any batter in a World Cup edition -- a feat that he achieved in 2019 in England.
After surpassing Chris Gayle's record of most sixes in international cricket on Wednesday, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said he has taken some inspiration from the 'Universe Boss' himself in his journey. During his record-breaking 81-ball 131 against Afghanistan at the Ferozshah Kotla, Rohit hammered five sixes to reach 556 maximums across three formats, three more than the West Indian left-hander. Rohit reached the landmark in 453 matches, precisely 30 games less than Gayle.
