Rohit Sharma eyes Chris Gayle's record

There are a plethora of batsmen who are rising through the ranks in order to shine at the highest level. Among the top-tier batsmen on the international stage, Indian captain Rohit Sharma is one of the best in limited-overs cricket. ‘Timing’ is an apparently heartening phrase that has followed him around like a shadow. Notably, it is one of the traits that helped Rohit Sharma reach great heights in his cricketing career.

Cricket experts and even cricketers reserve the highest respect for Rohit Sharma, courtesy of his elegant and sumptuous batting approach. This is precisely the reason why countless people pay to watch him play. He is known for his potential to play beautiful drives and smack scintillating maximums as well. Popularly known as “Hitman” for his six-hitting deftness, Rohit Sharma has enjoyed launching balls over the fence.

Rohit Sharma looks forward to breaking Chris Gayle’s record 

The manner in which he times the balls in an attempt to hit sixes is literally a cut above the rest of the batters of the current era. There are batsmen who hit sixes with brute force whereas there are batsmen who rely on sheer timing to hit maximums and Rohit Sharma belongs to this category as he combines the game with exquisite timing, more often than not.

The Indian skipper grabbed the headlines after he expressed his great deal of interest in breaking Universe Boss Chris Gayle’s record in international cricket. It is cognizance of the fact that Chris Gayle tops the list in terms of smacking the most sixes in international cricket (Tests+ODIs+T20Is). For the record, the West Indies international smashed as many as 553 sixes in his stellar cricketing career.

He is one of the only two batsmen to have smashed more than 500 sixes in international cricket. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma comes next on the list as he hammered as many as 539 sixes in his magnificent international career. He is 14 sixes away from shattering Gayle’s record and the Indian skipper might as well break this record in the ongoing calendar year.

“It will be a unique record for sure. Never in my life would I have imagined that I would be the one to break Chris Gayle’s record. It is funny. I am not a muscle person but I like hitting the ball hard,” he told senior journalist Vimal Kumar in a chat on his YouTube channel. “I am not a muscle guy but I like to hit the bowl hard. When I started playing cricket, I was told that timing is important. Aerial shots were a big no,” Rohit Sharma added.
