India’s captain Rohit Sharma etched his name in the record books during the T20 World Cup semifinal against England. He surpassed former Sri Lankan skipper Mahela Jayawardene’s record for the most fours hit in the tournament’s history. During a crucial moment in the match, Rohit played a reverse-sweep and found the boundary off the bowling of leg-spinner Adil Rashid, officially securing the record.
This achievement adds another accolade to the decorated career of the 37-year-old Indian batsman. He now also holds the position of second most prolific six-hitter in the history of the T20 World Cup, trailing only the legendary Chris Gayle of the West Indies.
Beyond the global stage, Rohit Sharma’s dominance in the T20 format extends to all international matches. He ranks third on the list of top four-hitters in T20 Internationals, trailing only Pakistan’s Babar Azam and Ireland’s Paul Stirling.
This record-breaking performance by Rohit Sharma further cemented his status as one of the most prolific batsmen in the history of T20 cricket. His ability to consistently find the boundary and his knack for hitting crucial runs continue to make him a force to be reckoned with in the world of T20 cricket.
