5 Records Rohit Sharma can break as Test opener

5. Most Sixes off consecutive balls

When you think of most sixes off consecutive balls, you think of six sixes in an over. However, that landmark has never been touched in Test cricket so far. Only six players have done that in professional cricket and only two of them have done it in international cricket. None of them in Test cricket.

In fact, there are only 12 players who have hit three sixes (or more) in a row in the history of Test cricket. Out of those 12, only three have been able to make it four in a row. That is the record.

No player has ever hit more than four sixes in a row in Test cricket. Rohit’s ability to hit sixes at will makes him a great candidate to break this record. His aggressive approach can work in his favour and he could well go overboard and smash this record down.
