Rohit Sharma Record: The discussion about the retirement of Indian cricket team’s veteran batsman Rohit Sharma is not stopping. It is being claimed in the media report that Rohit Sharma will play the last ODI match of his career at Lord’s. At the same time, Team India’s batting coach Sintashu Kotak and BCCI Secretary believe that Paha will remain in the team even after the ODI match to be held on July 19, but before that let us know about his five special records.
The retirement of Indian cricket team’s veteran opener batsman Rohit Sharma is now becoming a mystery. Before Lord’s ODI, there was a flood of news in the Indian media regarding Rohit’s retirement. Everyone assumed that Rohit was going to play the last match of his career, but meanwhile BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia has made it clear that the third ODI to be held at Lord’s on July 19 will not be Rohit’s last match. Now whether Rohit takes retirement after Lord’s ODI or not, it will be known when Shubman Gill comes for the toss, but before that let us know about those 5 historical records of the Hitman which will remain immortal even after his retirement.
There is talk of Rohit Sharma’s retirement from ODI cricket, in the same format he holds the record of the highest individual score. In 2014, Rohit played an inning of 264 runs against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Today, where the entire team struggles to score 250 to 260 runs, Rohit single-handedly made a historic record by scoring 264 runs, which is almost impossible to break.
Rohit Sharma is the only player in the world who has scored three double centuries in ODI cricket (209 vs Australia, 264 vs Sri Lanka, and 208* vs Sri Lanka). In white ball cricket, even a double century by any batsman in his entire career is no less than a big achievement, but Rohit has made a world record by scoring three centuries each. Apart from Rohit, no other batsman has been able to do this till now.

Not only a hitman, Rohit Sharma is also the real sixer king of international cricket. Rohit Sharma holds the record for hitting the most number of sixes in all three formats of cricket combined. Rohit has hit more than 650 sixes so far. In this matter, he has left behind the great West Indies player Chris Gayle, who has hit 553 sixes in international cricket. This is the reason why at present it is very difficult for any batsman to reach this figure of Rohit.
Apart from Sixer King, Rohit Sharma has also made a unique record in terms of hitting fours. Rohit had hit a total of 33 fours in his historic innings of 264 runs against Sri Lanka. This is a world record for hitting the most number of fours in an innings by any batsman in the history of ODI cricket. It is almost impossible to break this record of Rohit.
Of course, Rohit Sharma has been struggling with his form for some time now, but he has always been a big match player. This is why he also has the record of scoring most centuries in a World Cup. Rohit created a sensation by scoring 5 centuries in the 2019 World Cup. No batsman has been able to do this till date in the history of the World Cup.
