The first match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia is being played in Nagpur. Captain Rohit Sharma played the captaincy innings while strengthening the Indian team during the first innings in this test match. In this match, Rohit Sharma did strong batting and scored a brilliant century. Along with scoring this century, a special record has also been made in the name of Rohit Sharma.

 

Rohit Sharma has become the first Indian captain to score a century in all three formats of cricket. There are only four players in the world who have achieved this feat. Before Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam of Pakistan, Tillakaratne Dilshan of Sri Lanka and Faf du Plessis of South Africa have done this feat.

 

Let us tell you that Captain Rohit Sharma has not only made a record of scoring a century, but he has also made a record of hitting most sixes in international cricket in India. Rohit Sharma hit two sixes in his century innings. With this, his number of sixes in India has increased to 250. On the other hand, if we talk about other batsmen, then many batsmen do not even stick around Rohit.

 

According to statistics, Rohit Sharma has hit 250 sixes so far. On the other hand, former captain and Captain Cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is known for finishing the innings in winning style with sixes, has 186 sixes in his name. After this, Virat Kohli, who is called Mistak Aggressive, has hit 137 sixes. It is clear from the count of sixes of both the players that captain Rohit Sharma is far ahead of other batsmen.

 

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle holds the record for most sixes in international cricket. He has hit 553 sixes in international cricket for which he has played 483 matches. Talking about Rohit Sharma, he has hit a total of 519 sixes in 434 matches, out of which 250 have been hit in India only. In such a situation, it is clear that Rohit is only a few points behind Chris Gayle in hitting sixes. If Rohit continues playing for a few years, he can beat Chris Gayle.
