Rohit Sharma on Tuesday completed a milestone covered by none of the other Indian batters. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), the right-handed opener went on to hit his 400th six in T20s.
MI skipper Rohit is the seventh batter overall to unlock the feat in the shorter format of the game. Out of the 400 sixes, 133 have come while playing for India, 227 in the IPL, 16 in the Champions League T20, and the remaining 24 in other T20 tournaments.
In this piece we take a look at others, who lead Rohit in this race:
1/6
Former Chennai Super Kings all-rounder
2/6
Mumbai Indians all-rounder Kieron Pollard
3/6
Punjab Kings batter Chris Gayle
4/6
Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum
Brendon McCullum can be considered as one of the architects, who gave IPL the start they would have hoped for. In the maiden IPL match, which was played over a decade ago, the former Kiwi cricketer graced the spectators with an entertaining 73-ball 158, which included 10 4s and 13 6s. Despite hanging his boots, McCullum currently enjoys the fourth position in the list with 485 sixes. (IPL/File Photo)
