NEW DELHI: In a landmark moment, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on Monday became the first player in history to hit 200 sixes in T20Is. The milestone was reached during a high-stakes T20 World Cup Super 8 encounter against Australia in St Lucia.

Rohit’s feat stands head and shoulders above his contemporaries. The closest to his record is New Zealand’s Martin Guptill, who has 173 sixes to his name. Despite Guptill’s powerful hitting and consistent performance, Rohit’s ability to clear the boundary with such regularity puts him in a league of his own.

Following Guptill, England’s dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler has hit 137 sixes. Known for his innovative shots and aggressive batting style, Buttler’s tally, while impressive, is still a significant distance from Rohit’s unprecedented figure.

Players to hit most sixes in T20Is

Rohit Sharma – IND – 200*
Martin Guptill – NZ – 173
Jos Buttler – ENG – 137
Glen Maxwell – AUS – 133
Nicholas Pooran – WI – 132

Australia’s Glenn Maxwell, famous for his explosive batting and ability to turn a game on its head in a matter of overs, has amassed 133 sixes. His unorthodox style and fearless approach have made him a key player in the T20 format. Close behind Maxwell is West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran, a rising star in international cricket, with 132 sixes. Pooran’s flair and talent promise a bright future, but he too has a long way to go to catch up with Rohit.

Rohit’s 200 sixes highlight not just his power but also his longevity and consistency in T20 cricket. As he continues to push boundaries and set new records, fans worldwide eagerly await what the ‘Hitman’ will achieve next in his illustrious career.
