Rohit Sharma Six: Last Wednesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Indian captain Rohit Sharma displayed a stunning performance, scoring a blazing century of 131 runs in just 84 balls. His explosive innings included 16 fours and 5 sixes, breaking numerous records. During his brilliant batting display, Rohit hit a massive six that left not only the fans but also fellow Indian team middle-order batsman KL Rahul in awe. A video capturing Rahul’s reaction to Rohit’s extraordinary shot has since gone viral on social media.
This remarkable six by Rohit occurred during the 9th over of India’s innings, bowled by Azmatullah Omarzai of Afghanistan. On the third ball of that over, Rohit executed a powerful pull shot that sent the ball soaring into the stands. The ball connected perfectly with Rohit’s bat, traveling a great distance, leaving everyone astonished. KL Rahul’s astonished expression was caught on camera, adding to the viral sensation of the video.
Rohit Sharma set several records with his century against Afghanistan. He achieved his century in just 63 balls, making him the fastest Indian to score a century in the World Cup and breaking Kapil Dev’s 40-year-old record. Additionally, Rohit now holds the record for the most centuries by an Indian player in the World Cup, with seven centuries to his name, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s previous record of 6 centuries.
