The Mumbai Indians skipper achieved the milestone when he struck a boundary of seamer Mohammad Shami in the ongoing thirteenth IPL game against KL Rahul led Kings XI Punjab on Thursday, October 1. With the latest record in his kitty, Sharma joined the RCB skipper Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina in a select club of batsman to have achieved the milestone.
Hitman Rohit on the other hand is on a record breaking spree in the IPL as he became only the fourth batsman to hit 200 IPL in the previous game against KKR.
Rohit did not begin IPL 2020 well as he could manage just 12 runs against Chennai Super Kings in MI's tournament opener but struck form by top scoring with a match-winning 80 against Kolkata Knight Riders last Wednesday.
Even today, the Cricket buffs eyeing for some outstanding opening partnership between Quinton de Kock and Captain Rohit Sharma were left disappointed as the overseas batsman returned the pavilion bit too soon contributing absolutely none to the team this evening against the Kings XI Punjab. However Rohit Sharma put up a decent show for his fans with hitting some amazing boundaries.
Mumbai Indians and Kings Eleven Punjab have locked horns against each other 24 times over the past twelve seasons with MI enjoying a slight dominance over KXIP with thirteen wins. The Punjab franchise has won eleven games against the defending champions.
