IND vs WI: Rohit Sharma 4 Sixes Away From Shattering Chris Gayle's T20 Record

Sharma currently has 102 sixes to his credit and needs four more to dethrone ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle from the top spot

As India and West Indies gear up to lock horns in the three-match T20I series, Men in Blue's vice-captain Rohit Sharma would be looking to become the batsman with the most sixes in the shortest format of the game. Sharma currently has 102 sixes to his credit and needs four more to dethrone ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle from the top spot. The left-handed Gayle will not be playing the T20I series as he has been rested by the Windies team management. Gayle has 105 sixes to his name, whereas Kiwi batsman Martin Guptill is on the second position with 103 sixes. Sharma is currently placed third on the list. The 32-year-old is currently the highest run-scorer in T20Is and he also holds the record for the most number of centuries (four) in the T20I format. India will take on West Indies in three T20Is, three ODIs and two Test matches.
