Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the hearts of the cricket fans after he turned up to bat for the team during the second ODI against the Bangladesh cricket team at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.
The right-handed batsman who came out to bat at No.9 showcased his mettle by scoring a quickfire 51 off 28 balls at a sensational batting strike rate of 182.14 and nearly pulled off one of the greatest ODI wins.
However, Bangladesh bowlers were pretty good in clutch moments of the game as Mustafizur Rahman bowled a nail-biting yorker to Rohit Sharma in the last ball when India required six off the last ball.
Mustafizur Rahman bowled a superb dot ball as Bangladesh scripted a thrilling five-run win over India and also clinched the series by 2-0, with the dead rubber to be played on December 10.
Rohit Sharma is the first Indian to complete 350, 400, 450 and 500 sixes in International cricket
Popularly known as “Hitman”, Rohit Sharma accomplished a new milestone in international cricket during the second ODI against Bangladesh as he became the first Indian to complete 350, 400, 450 and 500 sixes in International cricket.
This is quite a staggering stat and the way he has been hitting sixes with ease makes him a dangerous batsman. Rohit Sharma is second on the list in terms of the most sixes hit by a player in international cricket.
The Indian stalwart has smacked as many as 502 sixes to his name and is only behind Universe Boss Chris Gayle who has slammed a record 553 sixes in international cricket.
For sure, Rohit Sharma has a great chance to overtake Chris Gayle’s record in the near future. As of now, Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the third ODI against Litton Das and Co on December 10 (Saturday).
