3 records Rohit Sharma can successfully break in the near future

Highest number of sixes in ODIs

Rohit Sharma: The Six Machine

Rohit Sharma just doesn't rake up big double centuries in ODIs, he also consistently deposits a few big ones into the stands. When he hits them, he hits them big. Rohit usually favours the deep square and the deep mid wicket region.

If the bowler dishes up a half-volley he smacks them straight in the "V". What is so poetic about his sixers are, he flays them through the line and doesn't lose his shape. This makes it all the more beautiful.

During his brilliant knock of 209 versus Australia in Bengaluru, he nonchalantly dispatched 16 sixes in one innings and currently shares this world record with Chris Gayle and AB De Villers.

Since AB has retired from the game and Chris Gayle is no longer the force he once was, Rohit has a great opportunity to eclipse Shahid Afridi's 351 sixes. Currently, he is eighth on the all-time list with 194 sixes.

Considering the fact that he is only 31 and still has a good 5-6 years left in him, there is every possibility that he would cross the coveted mark in the recent future.
