In the second One Day International against New Zealand, Rohit Sharma hit two sixes, surpassing a record previously held by Shahid Afridi.
Rohit Sharma continued his aggressive batting in the second ODI of India's tour of New Zealand, adding two sixes that lifted the team's total and secured a comfortable win. The innings, played at a high‑scoring venue, saw Sharma dominate the New Zealand bowlers with power hitting in the middle overs.
The two sixes took Sharma past a milestone previously owned by Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi, marking a new high point in his ODI career. While the specific nature of Afridi’s record was not detailed, the achievement underscores Sharma’s ability to deliver big hits under pressure.
The performance not only helped India maintain momentum in the three‑match series but also reinforced Sharma’s reputation as one of the modern game’s most prolific six‑hitters. Cricket analysts expect his form to be a decisive factor as the series progresses.
