Rohit Sharma is on the verge of including an enormous document to his already illustrious profession because the Indian cricket crew skipper can grow to be the primary batter from his nation to hit 50 sixes in a calendar 12 months. Right now, Rohit has 47 sixes and if he can hit 3 extra sixes in the middle of the Cricket World Cup 2023, he’ll have the ability to obtain the historic first. Overall, West Indies legend Chris Gayle and former South Africa star AB De Villiers are the one cricketers to realize this feat. De Villiers tops the listing with 58 sixes again in 2015 – a document that Rohit can probably break contemplating the variety of video games left.

Meanwhile, Australian legend Ricky Ponting believes a “laid-back” Rohit Sharma is the perfect captain to guide India to their third ODI World Cup title, the second on dwelling soil after the 2011 triumph.

With three convincing wins below their belt, India have made an ideal begin to their World Cup marketing campaign. India defeated Australia by six wickets of their match opener, earlier than registering emphatic eight and seven-wicket wins over Afghanistan and Pakistan to take a seat on prime of the factors desk.

“He’s very laid back, Rohit. Very laid back with everything he does. You can even see that by the way that he plays. He’s a pretty laconic sort of batsman as well, and that’s the way he is both on and off the field,” Ponting instructed the ICC web site.

Rohit took the captaincy reins from Virat Kohli in each the white-ball codecs in December 2021.

“But I think Rohit will be fine with it. He’s a terrific bloke and has been a great player for a long time, and he’s done a great job as leader of India.” The Men In Blue final gained the World Cup when the match was collectively hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in 2011.
