Rohit Sharma Sixes: Whenever it comes to hitting the highest and skyscraper sixes in world cricket, the name of former Indian team captain Rohit Sharma comes at the top. Rohit has made many such records of sixes, which is not going to be easy for the upcoming players to break. Now Hitman has a chance to create history. Rohit Sharma is standing on the verge of making a great record in One Day International cricket, where no batsman in the world has been able to reach till date. Rohit Sharma is now just 17 sixes away from completing 400 sixes in his ODI career.
Rohit Sharma can create history this year, Team India has 6 ODI matches
The best thing for Rohit Sharma's fans is that the Indian team still has to play 6 more ODI matches in this year i.e. 2026. Considering the aggressive style in which Rohit bats, hitting 17 sixes in 6 matches is not a big deal for him. If he is seen in his old form, then cricket fans can get to see this historic moment this year itself.
Will become the first Indian player to touch this magical figure
Till date in the history of ODI cricket, no batsman has been able to reach even close to the figure of 400 sixes. Before Rohit, the record of hitting most sixes in ODI cricket was in the name of former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi, which Rohit has already broken. West Indies legend Chris Gayle is also left far behind. Talking about Indian batsmen, legends like former captain MS Dhoni (229 sixes) and Sachin Tendulkar (195 sixes) are also far behind Rohit in this list. Rohit Sharma will become the first batsman in India and the world to complete 400 ODI sixes.
Top batsman who hit most sixes in ODI cricket:
• Rohit Sharma (India): 293 matches, 383 sixes
• 2. Shahid Afridi (Pakistan): 398 matches, 351 sixes
• 3. Chris Gayle (West Indies): 301 matches, 331 sixes
• 4. Sanath Jayasuriya (Sri Lanka): 445 matches, 270 sixes
• 5. MS Dhoni (India): 350 matches, 229 sixes

Rohit can touch this figure only in the ODI series against New Zealand
The Indian team is currently playing a 5-match ODI series on the New Zealand tour. Team India has taken a 2-0 lead by winning the first 2 matches of the series. However, Rohit's bat has not done much in the initial matches. Now 3 matches are left. If Rohit's bat works in these matches, he will easily make the world record of 400 sixes in this series. This is not a big deal for Rohit.
