The 2024 edition of ICC T20 World Cup will be played across nine venues in USA and West Indies. During the tournament, India captain Rohit Sharma, most likely playing his final T20 World Cup, will have a chance to break multiple batting and captaincy records.
Five Records India captain Rohit Sharma can break in T20 World Cup 2024
200 sixes in T20I cricket: Rohit Sharma, the seasoned opener, boasts an impressive record in T20 World Cup cricket, having smashed 190 sixes in 151 matches, setting a world record for the most sixes in T20I cricket. With just 10 more sixes in the T20 World Cup 2024, he could become the first batter ever to achieve the milestone of 200 sixes in T20 Internationals.
Most centuries in T20 Internationals: India's Rohit Sharma and Australia's Glenn Maxwell currently share the record for most centuries in T20 Internationals, with five tons each. If Rohit manages to score just one more century in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 tournament, the Indian skipper will surpass the Australian all-rounder and claim the top spot as the sole holder of the record for most centuries in T20 Internationals.
First Indian player to win two World Cup titles: If India lifts the 2024 T20 World Cup trophy, Rohit Sharma will achieve a significant milestone. He will join MS Dhoni as the only Indian captains to win the T20 World Cup title. Additionally, Rohit will carve his name in history as the first Indian player ever to clinch the T20 World Cup trophy twice in his cricketing career.
Most wins by an Indian captain in T20Is: Rohit Sharma's leadership in T20 Internationals has been remarkable, with 41 wins in 54 T20I matches, placing him on par with MS Dhoni for the most wins by an Indian captain in T20Is. With just one more win, Rohit Sharma will surpass MS Dhoni and become the most successful captain in the history of T20 Internationals for India.
Most sixes in international cricket across formats (T20Is, ODIs and Tests): Rohit Sharma's dominance in cricket is evident, with 597 sixes across formats in 472 matches. Just three more sixes will propel him into cricketing history as the first player ever to reach the milestone of 600 international sixes. Chris Gayle, who is now retired, sits at the second position with 553 sixes from 483 matches.
