Rohit Sharma Completes 600 Sixes in International Cricket, India Wins T20 World Cup Match

During the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 clash between India and Ireland on June 5, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma achieved a remarkable milestone by completing 600 sixes in international cricket. Sharma's impressive knock of 52 runs from 37 deliveries, including 4 fours and 3 sixes, helped India secure an eight-wicket victory.

With these three sixes, Sharma became the second player after Virat Kohli to score 4000+ runs across all three formats. He also completed 4000 runs in T20Is, becoming the third-highest run-getter in the marquee event with 1015 runs in 40 matches.

Sharma's innings was cut short due to an injury, but he had already made a significant contribution to India's victory. The Indian bowlers had earlier put pressure on the Irish batters, restricting them to a modest total of 96 in 16 overs. Hardik Pandya (3/27), Arshdeep Singh (2/35), Jasprit Bumrah (2/6), Mohammed Siraj (1/13), and Axar Patel (1/3) all played key roles in the bowling performance.

In the run-chase, Sharma's half-century and a supportive knock from Rishabh Pant (36* in 26 balls) helped India reach the target with ease. Sharma's achievement of 600 sixes in international cricket is a testament to his exceptional power-hitting abilities. He has consistently been one of the most destructive batsmen in the world, and his six-hitting prowess has played a crucial role in India's success in recent years.
