India skipper Rohit Sharma broke the report for probably the most fours hit by a batter in T20 World Cup historical past through the semifinal match towards England on the Windfall Stadium in Guyana on Thursday.
Rohit went previous former Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene’s tally of 111 fours within the T20 World Cup to register the report. He performed a reverse-sweep and located the boundary off the bowling of leg-spinner Adil Rashid to realize the feat.
The 37-year-old can also be the second most prolific six-hitter within the historical past of the match, behind solely Chris Gayle of West Indies.
In all T20Is, Rohit is third on the record of the highest four-hitters within the format, and trails Pakistan’s Babar Azam and Eire’s Paul Stirling.
