IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma shows he is the BOSS! India captain becomes 1st-ever player to achieve feat

Hitman handed Starc his most expensive  T20 over of his career. He smashed 29 runs in the over, which included 4 sixes and a four. Next, Rohit targetted Pat Cummins and welcomed him with a huge six that hit the roof. Subsequently, Rohit reached 200 T20I sixes and thereby became the first batsman to attain the figure.

Rohit Sharma completed his fifty in just 19 balls, the fastest of the T20 World Cup 2024.
