Ind Vs Afghanistan T20I, Records Waiting for Rohit Sharma

As of today, January 11, 2024, the India vs Afghanistan T20I series hasn’t started yet. It kicks off today with the first match.

However, based on Rohit Sharma’s current statistics and the upcoming series, here are some records he could potentially chase:

Captaincy:

  • Most T20I wins as India captain: MS Dhoni holds the record with 42 wins. Rohit currently has 39 wins in just 51 matches. A good performance in the series could bring him closer to this landmark.
  • If Rohit Sharma hits 5 sixes, he will become the only Captain to hit most sixes in the T20I.

Batting:

  • 200 Sixes in T20I’s : Rohit Sharma has scored 182 sixes till now, with 12 more sixes will lead Rohit Sharma to be the only batsman to take 200 sixes in T20Is.
  • 4000 T20I runs: Virat Kohli currently leads the charts with 4008 runs. Rohit sits at 3853 runs. Scoring 155 runs across the series would put him ahead.
  • Second-most centuries by an Indian in T20Is: Virat Kohli has 4 T20I centuries. Rohit has 2. A singleton in the series would tie him with Kohli, and two would push him past.
  • Most sixes in a T20I series against Afghanistan: Rohit already has 12 sixes across two previous T20I matches against Afghanistan. 8 more sixes would give him the series record.

Additional milestones:

  • 50th international six in a calendar year: Rohit achieved this feat four times previously (2017, 2018, 2019, 2023). Adding another 17 across the series would see him equal his record.
  • Highest individual score by an Indian opener in T20Is: Virat Kohli’s 122* against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022 currently holds the record. Rohit’s best is 118 against Sri Lanka in 2017. Surpassing that score would give him the title.

It’s important to note that these are just possibilities, and achieving all of them would be quite challenging. However, with his talent and experience, Rohit Sharma has a chance to etch his name in the record books even further during the upcoming India vs Afghanistan T20I series.
