Rohit Sharma overtakes Chris Gayle as leading six-hitter in cricket
RO + Sixes = Hitman. You know this. Just that it's official now!
It’s a proper love story. Our skipper is known to smash sixes for fun, and the fun has gone to the level now for over 13 years now, and it has ended up in him becoming the leading six-hitter in the world, in history. And he has overtaken the great Chris Gayle in the process.

There really couldn’t have been a better time for him to break this record. In the World Cup, in a stiff chase, he’s doing what he does best – getting India off to fliers. In the process, it’s just another day, and it’s just another record that our Legend has put into his pocket.
What’s the shot he gets there with? THE TRADEMARK ROHIT FRONT-FOOTED PULL!
