Rohit Sharma, the IPL veteran and leader of the Indian cricket team may not have had a dreamy start to this year’s 2025 edition but his worth and class as a player is unbeaten. The five-time Mumbai Indians winning captain has not fired with his bat until now, but his potential and quality is unmatched.
In the latest MI outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede stadium, Rohit Sharma has added another achievement to his impressive list in the Indian Premier League records.
Rohit has entered an elite list with a remarkable milestone set by his batting cameo. He came in to play as an impact substitute and had a quick innings, scoring 26 runs off 16 balls, which comprised of three sixes also.
With the first six that he hit, he sent a ball flying over the boundary rope from Mohammed Shami over the boundary, Rohit became the first player of the Mumbai Indians camp to hit 100 sixes at this iconic venue. In the grand scheme of the IPL, he’s only the fourth player in the history to hit 100 sixes at any venue, a massive record in itself.
Prior to this innings, Rohit had hit only three sixes in the entire competition, with his highest score of IPL 2025 being the 18 he scored against Delhi Capitals. But as they, form is temporary, and class is permanent. Cometh the hour, the right-hander absolutely winged the ball to smash three sixes in the clash.
When we look at players who’ve made a mark with their power-packed sixes in the IPL, only a countable few have crossed the 100 mark-figure at a particular ground.
Rohit is only one of the four batters in IPL history to have hit a century of sixes at a particular venue, joining the RCB trinity of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, all of whom have scored at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.
If we take a look at the all-time record for sixes in IPL history, Rohit’ impressive feat has him sitting in the second place with 286 sixes from 263 matches. The record is owned by the big man Chris Gayle, who has hit an incredible 357 sixes over his time in the league.
