IPL 2024: 3 milestones that Rohit Sharma can achieve in upcoming matches
Rohit Sharma is no longer in MI’s leadership group and will play as a pure batter in the 2024 edition.
1. First Indian player to hit 500 sixes in T20 cricket
A menace to the bowlers, the dangerous opener is on the verge of setting a milestone with his power-hitting prowess. Rohit Sharma is 13 sixes shy of becoming the first Indian player to hit 500 sixes in the shorter format of the game. With 487 sixes currently in his account, the 'Hitman' is way ahead of second-placed Virat Kohli with 371 maximums.

On closer inspection, the right-hander has dispatched the ball into the stands 190 times in international cricket and 257 times in the IPL, 206 of them for MI. Considering his form and the T20 World Cup just around the corner, Rohit is likely to do well in the upcoming season. It won't be a surprise if he crosses the landmark in an IPL match or two.
Only three players in history have achieved the feat of 500 sixes, with Universal boss Chris Gayle leading the chart with 1065 runs. Pollard is second on the list with 860 sixes followed by another West Indian Andre Russell with 668 sixes.
