T20 WORLD CUP 2022

T20 World Cup IND vs NED: Rohit Sharma Broke Yuvraj Singh’s Record

After a low score of just 4 runs against Pakistan, India captain Rohit Sharma rocked back to among runs as he notched up a half-century against the Netherlands on Thursday. The game was played at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Rohit Sharma scored 53 runs off 39 balls, with the help of 4 fours and 3 sixes, including his trademark pull-shot sixer.

Rohit Sharma now has the second-most sixes in men’s T20 World Cup history

Known to have a penchant for hitting sixes, as he combines his incredible gift of timing with his power, Rohit Sharma now has hit the most sixes by an Indian in men’s T20 World Cup history, and the second-most ever overall.

With his 3 sixes today, Rohit Sharma now has 34 sixes in T20 World Cups, leapfrogging the Indian record of 33 sixes by none other than former batsman Yuvraj Singh.

The list is topped by the ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle, who has smashed a jaw-dropping 63 sixes in the T20 World Cup, a record which is unlikely to be broken ever!

Behind Rohit and Yuvraj are the Australian duo of David Warner and Shane Watson with 31 sixes each. And among Indians, it is Virat Kohli who is behind Rohit and Yuvraj with 24 sixes so far.

India had a slow start and in the third over, they lost opener KL Rahul for 9 runs off 12 balls. On a surface that was getting slower as the day progressed – a match had already been played on it earlier in the day – Rohit and Kohli anchored the innings with the former taking some risks regularly and hitting the ball to the fence.

Rohit was growing in confidence about his shots and slog and hit 3 sixes, but another mistimed slog proved fatal as he departed on 53 runs off 39 balls. At the 12-over mark, India were 84/2 with the in-form Suryakumar Yadav joining the back-to-form Virat Kohli in the middle.
