MI skipper Rohit Sharma only 3 sixes away from creating history

MI skipper Rohit Sharma would be on the verge of a major milestone. With three sixes in the game, Rohit could become the first Indian batsman to hit 400 sixes in the shortest format. Rohit recently completed his mandatory quarantine and is back to training for the first match of the UAE leg. The 34-year-old will also be looking forward to make some runs and hopefully reach 400 sixes as well.

When it comes to T20 cricket overall, Rohit is eighth on the list of batsmen with most sixes.The list is led by Chris Gayle,Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Brendon McCullum, Shane Watson, AB De Villiers and Aaron Finch ahead of Rohit. However, it doesn’t stop Rohit Sharma to create history on Sunday. with 397 sixes, the MI captain is three short of  400 sixes, and if he able to smash those sixes then he will become the first Indian batsman in the history of T20 cricket to breach the 400-six mark in T20. Even if Rohit cannot get there on Sunday, it is only a matter of time before the MI captain will achieve this terrific feat. In fact, only four indian players have hit 300 sixes in T20 cricket. After Rohit, it is Suresh Raina (324), Virat Kohli (315) and MS Dhoni (303).
