In a landmark moment during the first ODI against South Africa national cricket team at Ranchi, Rohit Sharma launched a powerful 352nd six — surpassing Afridi’s long-standing record of 351 — and claimed the top spot in ODI six-hitting.

That tally not only makes him the leading six-hitter in ODIs but also raises his overall international six-count to 645, well ahead of Chris Gayle’s 553. Among Indian batters, this cements Rohit’s legacy across formats.

His six-hitting mastery is evident in the variety and context — from pulling pace to lofting spin, from first-overs aggression to death-overs finishing. This milestone isn’t just about numbers; it reinforces Rohit’s status as one of white-ball cricket’s most destructive and consistent batsmen.
