Rohit became the first cricketer to score 100 sixes against Australia in international cricket. The hitman has now hit nine sixes in Test matches against Australia, 76 sixes in ODIs and 15 in T20Is making him the first cricketer to smash 100 sixes vs Australia.
The six against Nathan Lyon was also Rohit’s 424th six in international cricket taking him one six closer to Shahid Afridi's record in the illustrious list of most sixes hit in international cricket.
Rohit achieved the feat in 16th over of India’s innings. He stepped out of the crease in Lyon’s second deery and smashed him for a six over long-on to reach the milestone. He thus becomes the first cricketer to record the feat against Australia in international cricket.
While Rohit has scored 100 sixes against Australia, England captain Eoin Morgan is second in the list having hit 63 sixes against the Aussies. They are followed by Brendon McCullum (61) while Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni complete the top five. Both hit 60 sixes each.
