Rohit Sharma was a six-hitting machine in India’s urgent Very 8 conflict with previous heroes Australia at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday. Indian skipper Rohit destroyed Australia’s world-class bowling attack at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, giving his batting a PlayStation-like feel. With his blitzkrieg score of 92 against Australia, the veteran Indian opener set a number of records.
Rohit Sharma Smashes 92 Runs vs Australia
In order to help India recover from an early setback suffered by Virat Kohli, skipper Rohit launched an all-out assault on the Australian bowlers. In the T20 World Cup, Rohit was questioned for being outsmarted by left-arm seamers, so he took Mitchell Starc, a southpaw, to the cleaners in the powerplay.
Nicknamed the Hired gunman, Rohit smoked four sixes in Starc’s third finish. On the first ball, the Indian opener greeted the pacer Starc with a maximum.
Rohit Sharma Smashes Mictell Starch Over
Rohit took the aerial route on the fourth ball after hitting consecutive sixes and a four off the Australian pacer. Under pressure, Starc bowled a wide before his reloaded delivery was hit for another six after Australia legend Ricky Ponting confirmed Rohit’s 22-run assault off the first four balls on air. Starc bowled his most expensive T20I over, ending it with 29 runs.
First Player To Hit 200 Maximum Sixes
Taking on Cummins in the fourth finished, Rohit Sharma terminated a 100m greatest as the ball arrived on the top of the setting. Rohit, the Indian captain, became the first player to hit 200 sixes in T20Is with the massive hit from Cummins. In 157 games for the World Cup champions in 2007, Rohit has scored 203 sixes. New Zealand’s Martin Guptill is second on the rundown with 173 sixes.
Fastest 50 Of T20 World Cup 2024
Rohit Sharma scored his fastest fifty of the T20 World Cup 2024 by scoring a single with the final ball of Cummins’ fifth over. An on-tune Rohit directed India to 60-1 in the initial six overs. Rohit scored his fifty for India in just 19 balls, making him the player with the joint-fourth-fastest half-century in T20Is. In a 2009 match against Sri Lanka, Gautam Gambhir, a former opener for India, scored fifty off 19 balls.
Yuvraj Singh actually holds the record for the quickest 50 (12) by an Indian hitter in T20Is.
