Rohit creates record for most sixes in a series

October 19, 2019 13:42

India 174-3 (44 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Rohit drives Piedt down to long-on for a single before Rahane comes down the track and lofts the off-spinner over the off-side for a four.

Rahane then takes a single into the covers before Rohit hammers the last ball down the ground clearing the long-off boundary for a six.

Ngidi sends down a maiden over to Rahane, who despite batting freely, has been quite compact with his defence.

Rohit continues to target Piedt. He looks to have miscued the loft down the ground but has got enough power to clear the long-on fielder for another six and then picks a single to take his score into the 90s.

Rohit has now slammed 16 sixes in the series to create a new record for the most sixes in a series, beating the previous tally of 15 sixes by West Indian Shimron Hetmyer in the two-Test series against Bangladesh in 2018-19.

Rabada comes back into the attack. Rohit picks a single first ball before Rahane lofts the fourth ball over the fielder at mid-on for a four as India go past 100 runs for the session, scoring at over five per over.
