We have already discussed Rohit's six hitting abilities earlier. He makes it look incredibly easy and it is one of the reasons for his success in ODI cricket since 2013.

He has smashed 139 sixes in just the last two years in International cricket. Most players don't even reach this number even in their entire career. He was one of the key reasons why India started posting huge totals in ODIs and T20Is, and chased a few improbable targets.

Rohit broke AB De Villiers' record for most sixes in a year during the 2017 season. He smashed 65 sixes while De Villiers had smashed 63 sixes in 2015.

In 2018, though, Rohit became even better in terms of hitting as he ended the year with a whopping 74 sixes and thus broke his own record, and with his form, he might break this record in 2019, as the Indians are set to play a lot of limited overs cricket.
