In Pics: Rohit Sharma surpasses Dhoni to hit most sixes in ODIs

Rohit Sharma (356 sixes) also surpassed Dhoni (355 sixes) to achieve the record of hitting most sixes by an Indian batsman in the ODIs.

However, after getting the 100 run partnership, KL Rahul got dismissed on 57 runs while Rohit Sharma attained his 24th ODI century.

Thanks to his blistering ton, Rohit Sharma achieved a milestone for the first time in 41 years of India-Pakistan cricketing history.

Rohit Sharma has now become the first Indian batsman to score a hundred against Pakistan in two successive innings in ODIs.

Any Indian batsman has not scored two hundreds against Pakistan in two consecutive matches in ODIs since 1978.

Earlier, Rohit Sharma played an innings of 111 runs in Dubai during the last year's Asia Cup against Pakistan.

Sarfaraz-led Pakistan cricket team won the toss and opted to field against ‘mighty’ India in the high-octane clash on Sunday.

India openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul stitched up a brilliant 100-runs opening stand. India crossed the 50-runs mark in just 10 overs.
