Rohit achieved the milestone of hitting most number of sixes (556) in international cricket, breaking explosive West Indies batter Chris Gayle’s record of 553 sixes.

In a video released by BCCI on X, Rohit is seen sharing a special message to Gayle who earlier held the prestigious record . 

 “Universe boss is Universe Boss. Obviously I have taken a leaf out of his books,” Rohit is found saying in the video.

“Over the years we have seen him, such a six hitting machine he is, wherever he plays,” he added.
