Rohit Sharma on Verge of Breaking Sehwag’s Record: Just Eight Sixes Away in Test Cricket

The Test and ODI skipper of Team India is renowned for his effortless striking of massive sixes. In international cricket, the star opener has the record for most sixes hit. He has hit 620 sixes in 483 matches. Chris Gayle, the devastating opener for the West Indies, is ranked second on the list with 533 sixes.

Rohit is the second-ranked Indian player in Test cricket. In 59 Test matches, he has so far hit 84 sixes. The 37-year-old Indian batsman only needs to hit eight sixes to beat Virender Sehwag’s record for the most sixes in Test cricket. With 91 sixes in 104 Test matches, Sehwag concluded his career.

With 131 sixes in 105 matches, Ben Stokes now holds the record for most in Test cricket. Brendon McCullum, who scored 107 sixes in 101 Tests, and Australian great Adam Gilchrist, who scored 100 sixes in 96 Matches, are ranked second and third respectively.

In Test cricket, Chris Gayle and Jacques Kallis, along with Virender Sehwag, are only a few sixes away from hitting 100 sixes. Although Gayle played his final Test in 2014, he is still technically active and has played 103 Tests. In 166 Test matches, South African batsman Kallis hit 97 sixes.

In preparation for leading India in a two-match Test series at home against Bangladesh, Rohit is now getting ready. From September 19 to September 23, the first Test will be held in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. The second Test is scheduled to take place from September 27 to October 1 at Kanpur’s Green Park. Bangladesh won the Test series 2-0 in Pakistan, thus they will enter the series with a lot of confidence.

With 700 runs at an average of 46.66 in nine matches during the current WTC cycle, Rohit Sharma has been outstanding. He has scored three hundreds and three half-centuries. Rohit Sharma would like to continue in this vein.
