Rohit Sharma, who has been in a sublime touch in the ongoing One-Day International (ODI) series against the Windies, has already notched up two 150-plus scores in four matches. Ahead of the fifth and final ODI at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, Rohit stands on the verge of a special double century, with which he can join former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on an elite list.
With his knock of 152 in the second ODI, he had surpassed former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly in the list of most sixes by an Indian batsman. In the 4th ODI, with his 157-run knock, he overhauled legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
The right-handed opener currently has 198 sixes in his ODI career and with two more maximums, he can join Dhoni to become the only second Indian to hit 200-plus sixes in the 50-over format. Dhoni, who is just one run away from 10,000 ODI runs, has hit 218 sixes in his career.
