WATCH: Rohit Reveals The Secret Behind His Six-Hitting Skills On Chahal TV

Rohit slammed 85 runs off 43 balls. His magnificent innings was laced with 6 fours and 6 monstrous sixes

Stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma was at his menacing best during the Rajkot T20I against Bangladesh on Thursday. The HITMAN slammed 85 runs off 43 balls, helping India to chase down a 154-run target with more than four overs to spare. His magnificent innings was laced with 6 fours and 6 monstrous sixes that brought the Rajkot crowd to its feet. After his Man of the Match performance, Rohit appeared on the Chahal TV, hosted by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, and revealed the mantra for hitting sixes. “When I hit three consecutive sixes, I tried to go for six maximums. But when I missed the fourth one, I decided I will take singles,” said Rohit while speaking about his three consecutive sixes which he hit against off-spinner Mosaddek Hossain. “You don't need a huge body and muscles to hit big sixes. Even you (Chahal) can hit sixes. Power is not the only thing you need to hit sixes, you need timing as well. The ball should hit the middle of the bat and your head should be still. So, there are a number of things you need in order to hit a six,” he added. Talking about his innings, the star Indian opener said, “It was very important from us to give a good start to the team as it is often seen that a set batsman wins the match for the team. I was a little unhappy that I got out at the wrong time. But nevertheless, I am happy with my performance as well as that of the team because we were under a lit bit of pressure.” "We had lost the first match in Delhi and it was important to win here in Rajkot," he added. The two teams will now face each other in the series finale in Nagpur on Sunday.
