Indian captain Rohit Sharma is known as Hitman and why is it so? He has told this to the world by showing his explosive batting in the India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG) match being played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Rohit Sharma lashed out heavily at the Afghan bowlers here and in the meantime he also made the record of hitting most sixes in international cricket. Not only this, when Fazalhaq Farooqui came in front of Rohit, the fans saw Rohit's hitman avatar.
In this match, Fazalhaq Farooqui had spent only 8 runs in his first two overs, but after that Rohit followed him. In the next over of this Afghan bowler i.e. the third over, the hitman hit a six and two amazing fours. Rohit was now in his touch, after which when Fazalhaq Farooqui came to bowl the fourth over of his quota, the hitman scored 17 runs in the over by hitting two fours and a six on the Afghan bowler.
That is, by the time Fazalhaq Farooqui, who gave only 8 runs in his first two overs, finished his first spell with 4 overs, he had already conceded 39 runs. This means he gave 10 runs in almost every over. Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma has completed his half-century against Afghanistan in just 30 balls, while he is now fast moving towards his century. Till the time of writing the news, captain Rohit Sharma has scored unbeaten 100 runs in 63 balls with 11 fours and 5 sixes. Ishan Kishan is also batting after scoring 38 runs on 41 balls. From here India needs 128 runs to win.
Rohit Sharma has now become the Sixer King on the basis of his explosive batting. Actually, he has made a big record in his name. Yes, Hitman has now become the batsman who has hit the most sixes in international cricket. Before Hitman, this record was in the name of Chris Gayle. He hit 553 sixes in 551 innings. Whereas Rohit Sharma broke Gayle's record of 473 innings by hitting 3* sixes against Afghanistan. Apart from this, he equaled Australian opener David Warner in scoring the fastest 1000 runs in World Cup history. Both the batsmen have completed 1000 runs in 19-19 innings. Rohit Sharma became the fastest Indian to score 1000 runs in the World Cup.
