Rohit Sharma's Mantra To Hit Sixes - You Don't Need Big Muscles But Just Good Timing

Rohit Sharma was on top of his game in the 2nd T20I against Bangladesh as which India easily won by 8 wickets and leveled the series 1-1.

Rohit was playing his 100th match in the format and he celebrated the milestone by smashing an explosive 85 to help the Men in Blue take home full honours.

His knock came in just 43 balls and contained six fours and six sixes during the course of his innings.

"When I hit three consecutive sixes, I tried to go for six maximums. But when I missed the fourth one, I decided I will take singles," he said.

"You don't need huge body and muscles to hit big sixes. Even you (Chahal) can hit sixes. Power is not the only thing you need to hit sixes, you need timing as well. The ball should hit the middle of the bat and your head should be still. So there are a number of things you need in order to hit a six," he added.

He also set some records as he went about hitting it out of the ground.

He now has the most sixes by an Indian captain in T20Is. With 37 sixes in just 17 innings, he surpassed MS Dhoni who has 34 in 62 innings. Virat Kohli takes 3rd spot with 26 in 26.

"It was very important for us to give a good start to the team as it is often seen that a set batsman wins the match for the team. I was a little unhappy that I got out at the wrong time. Nevertheless, I am happy with my performance as well as that of the team because we were under a lit bit of pressure," he went on to say.

"We had lost the first match in Delhi and it was important to win here in Rajkot."

Rohit has the most sixes in international cricket this year with 66 to his name. Back in 2017 and 2018 he held the record too with 65 and 74 respectively.

The 32-year-old is a man of records and loves the big scores. In ODIs, the man has 3 double tons and the world record of highest individual score of 264. He loves to hit the bowling out of the park and has the joint fastest T20I ton.

Now that he is also opening in Tests, expect him to pile up the runs in all the formats.
