Nagpur23 September: Team India captain Rohit Sharma scored the highest run in the second T20 in Nagpur. Actually the match was 8-8 overs. But Rohit’s role in it was very important. Even in 8-8 overs, he used the bowlers correctly first. And then Rohit stood on the pitch till the end despite falling wickets from one side, rising to a challenge of 91 runs. Rohit’s unbeaten innings of 46 eased India’s victory. But with this performance, Rohit Sharma has become the king of sixes in international T20 cricket.

Hitman became the sixer king

The competition for most runs and most sixes in T20 International cricket is between Kiwi batsmen Martin Guptill and Rohit Sharma. But Rohit is now ahead of Martin Guptill in two ways. When Rohit hit Josh Hazlewood for the first six in the Nagpur match, he broke Guptill’s record for most sixes. Rohit hit a total of 4 sixes in this match. So he now has 176 sixes in T20 Internationals. Guptill’s account has 172 sixes.

Maximum! 👌 👌
