Rohit Sharma could not break Afridi’s biggest record, came close and missed

India Vs Australia: Centurion Rohit Sharma certainly rained runs in the Sydney ODI but he came very close to breaking a major record held by explosive Pakistan batsman Shahid Afridi. We are talking about the most sixes in ODI cricket. Before the start of the Sydney ODI, hitman Afridi was five sixes away from achieving this record. Today they hit three sixes which reduced the gap to just two. Fans are eagerly waiting for Rohit Sharma to return to the top of this list.

How far is Rohit Afridi’s record?
Shahid Afridi has hit 351 sixes in ODI cricket after playing 398 matches. Rohit Sharma is second with 349 sixes in 276 matches. If we look at the top 10 list, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is at the fifth position with 229 sixes in ODI matches. Sachin Tendulkar is ninth with 195 sixes and Sourav Ganguly is tenth with 190 sixes. Apart from Rohit Sharma, there is no cricketer in the top-10 who is currently active in ODI cricket.

Rohit Sharma will have to wait for a month
Rohit Sharma is only active in ODI cricket. He has retired from T20 and Test cricket. As a result, he does not get many opportunities to play for India. The five-match T20 series between India and Australia is about to begin. After this, a two-match Test series against South Africa will be played on Indian soil from November 14. The Indian cricket team will once again be seen in ODI matches starting from November 30. Rohit Sharma can break Shahid Afridi’s record during this three-match ODI series.

Rohit Sharma was selected as the player of the match
India may have won the ODI series in Australia, but Rohit Sharma, who first scored a half-century in Adelaide and now a century in Sydney, was awarded both Player of the Match and Player of the Series. He showed coach Gautam Gambhir that he still has the ability to lead India to victory. Hitman could not be ignored so quickly. He still had the ability to score a lot of runs in ODI cricket.
