Rohit Sharma can create history against New Zealand, is just 4 steps away from Virender Sehwag

Rohit Sharma: The 3-match Test series between India and New Zealand is to start from October 16. Earlier, Team India had won the Test series against Bangladesh at home by 2-0. Now the team led by Rohit Sharma would like to repeat the same feat against the Kiwi team. However, Rohit Sharma can make a big record in this series and he can become the first Indian batsman to do so.

Let us tell you that Rohit is called a hitman and he has proved it right because Sharma is the batsman who has hit the most sixes in the world. In such a situation, now Rohit can leave Virender Sehwag behind and become the batsman who has hit the most sixes for India in Test cricket. Rohit can make this record in his name in the test series against New Zealand.

Rohit Sharma can leave Virender Sehwag behind

Rohit Sharma is currently in second place for India in terms of hitting the most number of sixes in the Test format. The Indian captain has played a total of 61 test matches so far, in which he has hit 87 sixes. Apart from him, the name of former veteran opener Virender Sehwag comes in the first place, who has hit 90 sixes in 103 matches. In such a situation, now Rohit needs only 4 sixes to leave Sehwag behind and if Sharma's bat works, then he can make this record in his name in the first match itself.

Apart from this, if we talk about hitting the maximum number of sixes in this format, then at the third place comes the name of former captain MS Dhoni, who had hit 78 sixes from his bat. Whereas former great batsman Sachin Tendulkar is at fifth position in this list with 69 sixes.

The first match will start on 16th October

This 3-match series against New Zealand is going to be very important for the Indian team. If India wins these three matches, then their World Test Championship final will be almost certain. This series is going to start from October 16 and this match is to be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
