MOST T20 WORLD CUP SIXES AS ROHIT SHARMA JOINS CHRIS GAYLE IN AN EXCLUSIVE CLUB

Indian captain Rohit Sharma has continued to enter record books in terms of hitting sixes. The veteran batter reached newer heights over the last few months. He attained different milestones (sixes) in the Indian Premier League, T20 cricket, international cricket across formats, T20Is and now the ICC T20 World Cup. In a high-octane ICC T20 World Cup Cup 2024 semifinal 2 clash against England in Guyana, Rohit joined Chris Gayle in terms of becoming the second batter to hit 50 sixes in the competition's history. Meanwhile, Rohit also surpassed Mahela Jayawardene to become the batter with the most fours in the competition.

Rohit smacked six fours and two sixes in his knock of 57 against the Three Lions. India scored 171/7 in 20 overs as Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav added 73 runs for the 3rd wicket. In response, England suffered a 68-run defeat. Jos Buttler's men managed 103/10. Kuldeep Yadav (3/19) and Axar Patel (3/23) were ruthless. India reached their 3rd T20 World Cup final and will play South Africa in the summit clash. The match will be held on June 29.

Here are the batters with the most T20 World Cup sixes.

CHRIS GAYLE - 63 SIXES
