” I never thought in life that I would be able to break Chris Gayle’s record one day”, says Rohit Sharma on his 6s tally.

India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, stands as one of the premier white-ball batsmen on the global stage in the contemporary era. His career trajectory underwent a significant transformation when he was elevated to the opening position in 2013, a strategic move orchestrated by former India captain MS Dhoni. Since then, this Nagpur-born cricketer has consistently mesmerized the cricketing world with his exceptional batting prowess, which transcends across various formats.

Beyond his technical finesse as a batsman, Rohit Sharma is renowned for his remarkable ability to hit sixes. Currently, the Indian skipper occupies the second position in the list of players with the most sixes in international cricket, trailing just 14 sixes behind the legendary West Indies cricketer, Chris Gayle, who reigns supreme. When asked about the prospect of surpassing the world record for the most sixes in international cricket, the 36-year-old Rohit Sharma playfully commented that achieving such a feat would undoubtedly establish a unique record.

Rohit Sharma said “It will be a unique record if I manage to break that. I never thought in life that I would be able to break Chris Gayle’s record one day (laughs). It’s funny but okay (flexing his bicep).”

Impressively, Rohit Sharma has dispatched a total of 539 sixes in his illustrious career, spanning 446 international matches, placing him in second place, only behind Chris Gayle, who has accumulated 553 maximums from 483 matches
