Another record that Rohit Sharma could be backed to have by the end of this series is the 'most sixes in T20Is'. In the initial years of his career, he was a middle-order batsman who played cautiously and went for big shots occasionally. But in 2013, two things happened that changed his career. He was handed over the responsibility of Mumbai Indians and was also preomoted as an opener for the Indian team.

This provided him with a platform to get in and unleash himself whenever he was set. Since then, we have seen him play some classic pull shots over the deep square leg and deep mid-wicket.

Overall, he has been one of the best openers in ODIs and T20s in the last five years. In T20Is specifically, he has smashed 102 sixes in 94 matches behind Martin Guptill and Chris Gayle, who have 103 and 105 respectively. He only has to score four sixes to surpass Gayle as the player with most T20 sixes but with Chris Gayle also featuring in this series, Rohit will need to be at his best.
