Responding to Gayle’s tweet, Rohit wrote, “Thanks CG 4&5 on the back but our favorite number is 6”.

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.

Ahead of India’s campaign opener against Australia, skipper Rohit Sharma suggested that being a cricketer in India is not easy, especially with the big weight of fans’ expectations.

Gill didn’t attend India’s practice session at the stadium ever since the side touched down in Chennai and it emerged on Friday that the right-handed batter is under the weather possibly due to high fever.

Rohit has candidly shared his thoughts on his captaincy journey. He also acknowledged the rightful precedence of captains like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni before him.

Rohit’s tally of sixes has now reached 551 and he needs just three more maximums to become the highest six-hitter in international cricket history.

Ashwin and fellow spinner Washington Sundar have been included in the squad for the three-match ODI series against Australia.

As per Ashwin, Rohit makes batting look effortless and he has got all the shots in the book.

Rohit Sharma achieved the milestone when he reached 22 runs after India won the toss and opted to bat on a bright afternoon in Colombo. Sharma became the 15th batter overall to score 10,000 runs in ODI cricket.

According to Blewett, Rohit is not the right candidate to lead India and under his leadership, India’s chances this World Cup don’t look bright.

The captain said that there are no personal preferences while selecting or dropping a cricketer from the side.

Many experts and fans feel that despite the astounding record by Kohli, Rohit is a better batsman than him especially in the shorter format.

As per Akhtar, he has observed Rohit succumb to panic on certain occasions and struggle to handle pressure during crucial moments.

The former World Cup winning captain believes that Rohit and Kohli should regularly ply their trade on the domestic circuit.

While India may not have advanced past the semi-final stage in the last two Men's Cricket World Cups, the skipper believes his side can emulate the 2011 success of his compatriots.
