In Sunday’s second ODI against England in Cuttack, India captain Rohit Sharma became the second most prolific six-hitter in One-Day International cricket history.
In the second over of India’s chase, he hit Gus Atkinson for a six over midwicket, surpassing the West Indies opener, who was tied with him on 331 sixes before the game.
