Indian cricket limited-overs captain Rohit Sharma joined millions in celebrating Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen's dramatic maiden championship win on Sunday.Using a cricketing analogy, the batter said Verstappen's final lap clutch in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was equal to hitting a match-winning final-ball six.The closest F1 season in decades saw Red Bull's Verstappen and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton start the final race on equal points. Battling for his record eighth championship, Hamilton put in a mega drive, almost cruising throughout.But crashes for two of the 19 drivers and the ensuing Safety Car deployments went in Verstappen's favor, allowing him to take the lead moments before the finish line.Taking to Twitter soon after the checkered flag went out, Rohit Sharma described it as an "unbelievable win" for the 24-year-old Dutchman. He wrote:"1 ball 6 required and guess what, Max Verstappen hits it. Unbelievable win #AbuDhabiGP #F1TitleChampionship"Rohit Sharma@ImRo451 ball 6 required and guess what, Max Verstappen hits it.
