India are currently taking on Bangladesh in the second Test of the two-match series at the Green Park International Stadium in Kanpur. The match has been one of the most entertaining Tests in recent times, as Idia are going all guns blazing to secure a win against their opponents after losing two and a half days of the game to rain. As India put their foot on the pedestal while batting, the charge was started by their captain Rohit Sharma. With his big-hitting, Rohit became the first captain in history to achieve an incredible feat.
Rohit Sharma Becomes First Captain To Achieve BIG Feat Thrice
Rohit Sharma played a short and sweet innings of 23 runs from 11 balls in their first innings of the India vs Bangladesh second Test. During this whirlwind knock, Rohit hit 1 four and three huge sixes. Rohit now has 41 sixes across all formats in 2023.
He thus becomes the first captain ever to hit more than 40 international sixes thrice. He achieved this feat twice before, when he slammed 45 sixes in 2022 and 80 sixes in 2023.
