Indian opener Rohit Sharma has been in sublime touch in the white ball format of the game. His repertoire of shots makes him a very efficient player limited-overs batsman. His ability to tonk the ball hard and take on any bowler allows him to take his time upfront while opening the batting.

Even in the ODI at Sydney, Rohit took his own time to get the team out of the trouble to only bring his power game to the fore in the later stages of the game. It seems his love affair against Australia continues as he smashed yet another century against the Aussies. In due course, he claimed the record for third-most sixes against any opposition in International cricket.

He went past Chris Gayle's 81 sixes against New Zealand, taking his own tally to 82 sixes against Australia. He also holds the record for joint-most 25 maximums against Australia in ODIs along with Shahid Afridi.
