Captain Rohit Sharma scoring a half-century in the very first match has been the best thing for India, as his form has not been good in the IPL. Team India will definitely be in tension due to Rohit's sudden retirement and return. However, before getting injured, he returned to the pavilion with five big feats.
Rohit hit 600 sixes
Rohit Sharma is not called 'Hitman' for nothing. He is adept at hitting sixes even on the toughest pitches. 'Drop-in' pitches are being used at Nassau County Stadium in New York and batsmen have had to struggle so far. In the match between India and Ireland too, the bowlers were constantly troubling, but here too the Indian captain hit a lot of fours and played a strong innings of 52 runs in just 37 balls.
In this innings, he hit 4 fours along with 3 sixes and with this, he made a big world record of hitting 600 sixes in international cricket. Rohit has achieved this feat in just 498 matches. Chris Gayle is second in terms of hitting the most sixes in international cricket, he has hit 553 sixes in 551 matches.
Rohit did 5 big things
The Indian captain not only made a record of hitting sixes against Ireland in this match but he also did four more big feats. With his brilliant innings of 52 runs, the 'Hitman' has touched the mark of 4000 runs in T20 International matches. Rohit has achieved this feat in 144 innings. He is the third batsman to reach this figure after Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. Let us tell you that after Virat Kohli, he is the second international batsman to score 4000 runs in all formats of cricket.
Before returning due to injury, he also completed 1000 runs in the T20 World Cup and set a record of hitting 100 sixes in the ICC white ball event. Ireland was given a target of 98 runs, which India easily achieved with 8 wickets remaining. With this, Rohit Sharma has won 300 international matches under his captaincy.
