‘Yaha bhi 200, but on roads it’s too dangerous’ – Fans react as Rohit Sharma fined for over-speeding in Pune

I have taken a leaf out of Chris Gayle: Rohit Sharma

“Universe Boss is Universe Boss,” he said. “I have taken a leaf out of his book. Over the years, we have seen him, such a six-hitting machine he is wherever he plays.

“We both wear the same jersey – No. 45. I am sure he is happy about it because jersey No. 45 has done it [broken his record].”

“When I started playing this game, I never thought I would be able to hit sixes like that, let alone that many sixes. Obviously, a lot of work has gone into it over the years. So I am quite happy with the work I have.

“I am the sort of person who will not be satisfied. I want to continue to do what I have been doing. My focus is on that. Yeah, it is a small happy moment for me.”
