Rohit is just one six behind Martin Guptill on this list. The New Zealander has 172 maximums, while the India skipper is on 171.
In that match, the youngster did not get to bat after the heroics of Yuvraj Singh took India to the win. He hit 6 sixes in an over off Stuart Broad.
Rohit Sharma has two very special records to his name in T20 international cricket. First is the most runs in T20Is, and the most T20Is played for a country.
The veteran Indian opener has the most runs in T20 international cricket. His record with 3620 runs, 36 runs behind the great Virat Kohli.
His 136 T20I matches are also the most for a player in the shortest format of the game. Rohit has won 91 of these matches.
Rohit hit the joint-fastest century in T20I cricket. It took him 35 balls vs South Africa, equalling David Miller's record set two months earlier in 2017.
Just behind Ireland's veteran opener Paul Stirling's 344, Rohit Sharma's 323 fours in the second most in T20I cricket history.
Rohit is just one six behind Martin Guptill on this list. The New Zealander has 172 maximums, while the India skipper is on 171.
In his debut T20 World Cup as the India skipper, all eyes will be on Rohit. He has won every tournament in which he has debuted as the skipper.
