Rohit Sharma Most Sixes as Captain in International Cricket: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is in great form. Rohit Sharma, who played ODI for the first time after the ODI World Cup 2023 final, has created a new record against Sri Lanka today. Hitman Rohit Sharma has played his first match after winning the final of T20 World Cup 2024. Playing against Sri Lanka, Rohit has created a record which will not be easy to chase. He became the first captain in the world to hit the most sixes in international cricket as a captain.
Rohit Sharma hit the most sixes as a captain
Rohit has become the batsman to hit the most sixes as a captain in international cricket. He has broken the record of former England captain Eoin Morgan. Rohit made this record by hitting three sixes in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. Rohit has played 124 matches as a captain in international cricket. He has 234 sixes to his name. As far as Morgan is concerned, he has hit 233 sixes in 198 matches for England.
India's MS Dhoni is in third place
If we talk after Rohit Sharma and Eoin Morgan, then here is India's MS Dhoni. He has captained India in 332 international matches. Meanwhile, 211 sixes have come off his bat. Talking about Australia's Ricky Ponting, he has hit 171 sixes while captaining in 324 matches during his career. That is, if we talk about all these captains, Rohit Sharma has not only hit the most sixes but has also played the least number of matches. So in this case too, this is a big achievement for Rohit Sharma.
How many sixes has Rohit hit as an international cricketer?
Talking about Rohit's career, he has played 59 matches in Test cricket and has hit a total of 84 sixes. In T20 International, Hitman has hit 205 sixes in 159 matches. Talking about ODI matches, Rohit Sharma has hit 323 sixes in 262 matches. This six is his as a player, not as a captain. Rohit has said goodbye to T20 cricket, he will now be seen playing only in ODIs and Tests.
