Rohit Sharma’s ability to clear the boundary rope effortlessly has made him a fan favorite not just in India but around the world. As he sent the ball sailing into the stands for the 300th time in ODIs, the packed stadium celebrated his achievement, knowing they were witnessing a special cricketing moment.
This remarkable milestone, achieved during one of cricket’s biggest tournaments, only underscores Rohit Sharma’s stature in the game. With every six he hits, he’s not just adding runs to India’s tally but etching his name deeper into cricket’s record books.
