Rohit Sharma continues to show his brilliance in the ongoing 2nd ODI match against West Indies that has been going on in Vizag. Rohit has been in sensational form in 2019. He has been breaking and making records for a long time now. Today, as he took India towards a big total, he comfortably broke MS Dhoni’s sixes record.
The ‘Hitman’ Sharma smashed the West Indies’ bowlers to all the corners of the ground and by doing so he hit the 28th ODI hundred of his career and then the 7th hundred in 2019. Besides this, when Rohit Sharma smashed West Indies spinner K Pierre for a maximum, he went on to break the record of the former skipper of India, MS Dhoni.

Rohit surpassed MS Dhoni, who has hammered 186 International sixes on the Indian soil from 208 innings. However, the special thing about this is, Rohit only took just 116 innings to surpass the legendary skipper.
Before the match started, Kieron Pollard has opted to field first after winning the toss. Rohit kickstarted his knock very cautiously but as soon as he got his eyes in, runs came all around the wicket. He went on to score 159 runs, smashing 17 fours and 5 sixes.
