One unbreakable record of top 6 current batsmen

People always talk about the current “Fab 4” group of batsmen. They are Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, and Joe Root. All four of them have been excellent and have played consistent cricket over the years to be called the best. If we include two more batsmen on the list, we get the top 6 batsmen playing currently.

The two batsmen are Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam. Even these two have played wonderfully in the past years and are also among the best. All of these 6 maestros have broken several records that were standing over the years created by past legends.

However, they have also created some new records of their own kind. Some of those records are so unique that a question arises that will they ever be broken? So, here we list –

One unshakeable record by top batsmen

1) Rohit Sharma

The opener has been playing unbelievably well ever since he started opening the innings in ODIs. Before that, Rohit Sharma was a middle-order batsman and did not get many chances to play long innings. However, his career took a major leap as he started opening.

Scoring 200 runs in an ODI is always a huge task and very few batsmen have reached the milestone. Rohit scored his first double century against Australia in 2013. The innings were praised a lot as Rohit played fluently and hit 16 sixes in the knock. However, he played another breath-taking innings in the very next year.

In the 5-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in 2014, India had already pocketed the series with an unassailable 3-0 lead. The 4th ODI was played at Kolkata, a ground where Rohit enjoys scoring runs. After reaching his century at a moderate strike rate, his innings just exploded. He ended up scoring another double century, and this time even further. Rohit’s final score was 264 off 153 balls with 33 fours and 9 sixes. Going past 250 or even 200 is quite a mammoth achievement and it seems that this score of 264 will remain untouched for a long time.
