sarcastic Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 We know that MSD used to send helicopters out into night sky but his six hitting ability seems to have diminished a bit. He is now surpassed by Rohit Sharma in the number of sixes hit in ODIs after the ODI vs Bangladesh. Rohit is at 230 whereas MSD is on 228. It will be interesting where the number of sixes will be when MSD hangs his boots. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283123.html Link to comment

Master_better Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Rohit opens the batting whereas Dhoni bats at 6th. Absolutely legendary stuff from Dhoni given the position at which he comes to bat. flamy, Laaloo, Real McCoy and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment

rkt.india Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Rohit is the best six hitter cricket has ever seen in ODIs, IIRC. 230 sixes in 207 innings. He is hitting about 2 sixes per innings in his last 100 innings, IIRC. Stan AF 1 Link to comment

WI have always hit 6s with ease. look at gayle for instance. one prolific and forgotten 6 hitter (but an ordinary batsman) from WI was ricardo powell (75 6s in 110 matches) - smashed ind more than once.
