#2 Hogg backs Sharma to become first to score a T20I double-hundred

Rohit Sharma has scored four T20I hundreds, which are the most by any player in international cricket

Former Australia spinner Bradd Hogg has stated that India's Rohit Sharma remains the best bet in his eyes to break the double-ton-mark in the T20I format. Sharma, who boasts an unbelievable record of three double tons in ODIs and four tons in T20Is, has been tipped as the front-runner to scale the impossible according to Hogg due to his impeccable gameplay and good strike rate.

Replying to questions from fans on Twitter, Hogg reflected on the possibilities of players who could achieve the unimaginable mark, and Sharma topped that list.

Rohit Sharma at presently is the only player I think capable of it. Good strike rate, all timing, and plays cricketing shots finding six options all around the ground. https://t.co/WmHatsrJpO
