Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been in tremendous form in the ongoing 2023 ODI World Cup in India. The right-handed opening batter is amongst the leading run scorers of the tournament with 398 runs from six matches played so far at an average of 66.33 and a strike rate of 119.16 along with one hundred and two half-centuries. After getting out for a duck in the opening game against Australia, Rohit went on to smash a fiery hundred (131 off 84) in the next game against Afghanistan while chasing a target of 273 runs. Rohit turned out to be a top scorer again against the arch-rivals Pakistan with 86 off 63 balls in a chase of 192 and made quick 40s against Bangladesh and New Zealand respectively. Rohit turned out to be a savior for India in the latest game against the defending champions with 87 runs off 101 balls in a tough batting situation and helped his team to put in a competitive total of 229 runs for the loss of 9 wickets.
Rohit is leading from the front in India’s chase for the third World Cup title in front of their home crowd after 12 years. The 36-year-old has been successfully taking on his role as an opening batter and giving quick starts to the Indian team which helps them to get ahead in the first 10 overs of the game. He has been constantly hitting boundaries and is currently hit the most number of sixes in the ongoing tournament so far.
Rohit Sharma is currently the leading six-hitter of the tournament with 20 maximums from six games and the number is likely to increase in the upcoming matches. Along with these, he is also in the second position in the list of most fours in the tournament with 43 to his name.
Not only this, Rohit has now the most number of sixes in international cricket across all formats with 571 maximums in 457 matches (Test+ODI+T20I). He achieved this milestone during the ongoing World Cup surpassing former Caribbean great Chris Gayle who has 553 sixes to his name in international cricket.
