Rohit Sharma, popularly known as the ‘Hitman’, has achieved a remarkable feat during his team’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Wankhede Stadium. Sharma has become the first Indian cricketer to hit 500 T20 sixes, adding yet another milestone to his already illustrious career. Not only that, Sharma also scored his second century in the history of IPL. Despite his outstanding performance, his team suffered a defeat against CSK.

Sharma, who is the captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise, reached this milestone in the match where he scored a brilliant century. He played a captain’s knock of 109 runs off just 57 balls, which included seven fours and six maximums. His innings was filled with powerful shots and exquisite timing.

With this achievement, Sharma now joins the elite club of cricketers who have hit 500 or more sixes in the shortest format of the game. Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard, and Chris Gayle are the other cricketers who are a part of this elite group. However, what sets Sharma apart from the others is that he is the first Indian to achieve this feat.

Sharma’s incredible ability to score big runs and hit sixes consistently has made him one of the most dangerous batsmen in limited-overs cricket. He has a remarkable record in the IPL, where he has scored over 5,000 runs with the help of more than 200 sixes. His aggressive batting style combined with his ability to read the game has made him a match-winner for his team on numerous occasions.

Apart from his individual achievements, Sharma has also tasted success as a captain. Under his leadership, Mumbai Indians have won the IPL title a record-breaking five times. He has the unique distinction of being the only captain to achieve this feat in the history of the tournament.

Despite Sharma’s heroic efforts, Mumbai Indians fell short of the target in the match against Chennai Super Kings. CSK successfully chased down the target of 218 runs with four balls to spare, clinching a thrilling victory. Nonetheless, Sharma’s century and his record-breaking six added another remarkable chapter to his illustrious career.

Cricket fans and experts from all around the world have showered praises on Sharma for his exceptional performance.
