When you think of cricket, one name that goes unmissed is Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain has created some spectacular records that are difficult to break. Be it the T20 World Cup or ODIs, he is unstoppable and dangerously takes on the bowling attack. Ahead of the India vs. England semi-finals, lets have a look at the top five records by Hitman Rohit Sharma.
1. Most wins at the Premier League as a captain
Rohit Sharma has led Mumbai to five championship victories in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. He equals this record with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who leads Chennai in winning the most trophies.
2. Highest double centuries in ODI
Not one, but he has hit three double centuries in One Day International (ODI). Under all that calm and composed face is a beast who smashes the bowling attack and how.He scored a double ton twice against Sri Lanka and once against Afghanistan. You would be surprised to know that no other cricketer has been able to achieve this record apart from the Indian captain.
3. Highest individual score in ODI
The Hitman continues to dominate the scoreboard with his phenomenal knock of 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in November 2014. It still stands as the highest individual score scaled by a batsman.
4. Most sixes in T20
The fan-given name Hitman is a testament, as the power hitter holds the record to have hit most sixes (190) in the T20 international tournament. Rohit Sharma beat New Zealand batsman Martin Guptill's record (173) to stay on top.The Indian skipper will add more to his tally as he leads the team in the T20 World Cup in June this year.
5. Most centuries in a tournament
He had a great run in the ICC Men's World Cup held in England in 2019. Rohit Sharma slammed five monstrous centuries at an average and strike rate of 81 and 98.33, respectively.He totaled around 649 runs across nine matches for Team India.
