Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma stormed Lord’s, broke Chris Gayle’s world record of sixes, became the batsman to hit the most sixes against SENA.

New Delhi. The decisive third ODI match was played between India and England at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground. In this match, Rohit Sharma created a stir by playing a historic inning of 138 runs. During his memorable innings of 17 fours and 5 sixes, Rohit Sharma created a number of records. During this innings, Rohit also broke the big record of Chris Gayle. As soon as the second six came off Rohit’s bat, he became the batsman to hit the most number of sixes against SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia). He created history by breaking Chris Gayle’s world record.

Most sixes against SENA countries
Chris Gayle had hit a total of 342 sixes in all three formats against SENA countries. Rohit Sharma has now registered 343 sixes in his name against SENA countries in all three formats. In the 11th over of the innings, the second six of the innings came from Rohit’s bat and with this he created history. Rohit has hit 138 sixes against Australia, 58 sixes against England, 83 sixes against New Zealand and 64 sixes against South Africa in international cricket.

Became the first Indian to score a century at Lord’s
This century of Rohit Sharma was historic in many ways. He became the first Indian batsman to score an ODI century at Lord’s. Earlier, the highest ODI score by an Indian on this ground was in the name of Sourav Ganguly, who scored 90 runs against England in 2004. Rohit made this record in his name by scoring a century. With this, Rohit made another big record. At the age of 39 years and 80 days, he became the oldest batsman to score an ODI century at Lord’s. Not only this, he also became the oldest Indian batsman to score a century in all three international formats (Test, ODI and T20).

With this century, Rohit’s record in England became even more brilliant. He scored his eighth ODI century in England and became the batsman to score the most ODI centuries in a foreign country. In this matter, he left behind Sachin Tendulkar, Saeed Anwar, AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock, who have 7-7 ODI centuries in their names in any one foreign country.
