He surpassed the former legendary South African batter Ab de Villiers. Rohit has now 60 sixes in the ongoing calendar year of 2023, surpassing the record of 58 sixes which was achieved by De Villiers in 8 years back in the year 2015.
The third name in this list following Rohit Sharma and AB de Villiers, is none other than the legendary Caribbean batter Chris Gayle, who smashed 56 sixes fours years back in the year 2019. Before Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, the former Pakistan great and star all-rounder Shahid Afridi held this record for 13 years since it was broken by De Villiers in 2015.

Waseem has smashed 47 sixes in the current calendar year of 2023.
This achievement for the Indian captain has garnered a lot of reactions from the Indian cricket fans over X (formerly Twitter).
Speaking of the ongoing action of the match between India and the Netherlands, the hosts India are batting first after winning the toss; they have scored 122 runs for the loss of one wicket in 15.5 overs, having skipper Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli there in the middle at the individual scores of 61 and 6 runs, respectively.
Earlier, Shubman Gill also scored a crucial half-century, scoring 51 runs before falling prey to Paul van Meekeren after stitching a 100-run opening partnership for the first wicket with skipper Rohit Sharma.
