IND vs ENG: Captain Rohit Sharma made noise with the bat in Lucknow, Finch-McCullum's big record broken

Captain Rohit Sharma created a lot of noise with the bat in the match being played against England in Lucknow. Hitman batted brilliantly in difficult conditions and played a brilliant inning of 87 runs. Rohit hit 10 fours and three skyscraper sixes during his innings. With three sixes, the Indian captain has left Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum behind in this special case.

In fact, as captain, Rohit Sharma has overtaken Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum in terms of hitting the most sixes in a single season of the ODI World Cup. Rohit has left Finch behind by scoring three sixes against England. Hitman now has 20 sixes in his name in the ICC World Cup 2023. At the same time, Finch had hit 18 sixes in 2019. McCullum had hit 17 sixes as captain in 2015. Rohit has overtaken both Finch and McCullum.

The record for hitting most sixes in a single season of the ODI World Cup as a captain is in the name of Eoin Morgan, who hit 22 sixes in the year 2019. That is, if Rohit is successful in hitting three sixes in the coming three matches, then he will become the captain with the most number of sixes in one season of the World Cup. This task does not seem difficult for Rohit.

Except for Rohit Sharma, the rest of the batsmen of the Indian team could not perform anything special against England. Shubman Gill returned to the pavilion after scoring just 9 runs, while Virat Kohli remained on zero for the first time in the World Cup. KL Rahul contributed 39 runs, but he could not take advantage of the good start. Shreyas Iyer lost his wicket while trying to pull the ball off Woakes after scoring just 4 runs. Ravindra Jadeja also got out cheaply.
