5 Records Rohit Sharma can break as Test opener
The Mumbaikar delivered in his first innings as a Test opener and has already created a massive reputation and hype around him.
3. Most sixes in an innings
One of Rohit Sharma’s strengths is to pull out the big shots as and when needed. He can hit sixes at will and release all the pressure. Moreover, these big shots are mostly effortless and Rohit has mastered it. He’s done it multiple times in white-ball cricket.
No player has more sixes than Rohit in T20Is while only three players are ahead in the sixes race in ODI cricket. Hence, he can smoke them all around the park. He is severe against the spinners and can be equally effective against the pacers. Hence, if Rohit bats long, the sixes will come.
The record for most sixes in a Test innings by a single batsman is 12 – Wasim Akram against Zimbabwe in 1996. The Indian record for the same is Navjot Singh Sidhu – 8 vs Sri Lanka in 1994. Thus, this is one of the best records Rohit can break as an opener.
