In the mega clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024 promised to be an electrifying affair, not just for their rivalry, but also for the rewriting of T20 history. Rohit Sharma, the swashbuckling MI opener and a true legend of the format, achieved a remarkable feat after his fabulous fifty vs CSK.
Prior to the game, Rohit needed just three sixes to becomes the first Indian batsman to smash 500 sixes in T20 cricket. En route to his entertaining innings, Rohit clubbed eight fours and four sixes and put some real pressure on the CSK bowlers.
With his third six, that came off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling, made Rohit only the first Indian to complete 500 T20 sixes.
This milestone is a testament to his power-hitting prowess, a defining characteristic that has earned him the well-deserved nickname “Hitman.”
