Indian batsman Rohit Sharma doesn’t pack a whole lot of punch in his strokes and has a bit of lazy elegance in his stroke-making. However, that doesn’t stop him from clearing the ropes with sheer ease. The Nagpur-born cricketer has often been seen hitting sixes of the front and the same is a testament to his stupendous abilities with the willow in hand.

The right-handed batter is currently playing the fourth contest of the five-match series against the Windies at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. In the encounter, the 31-year-old didn’t flatter to deceive by any stretch of the imagination and went on to score 162 superlative runs from 137 deliveries with the help of 20 boundaries and four hits into the stands.

Rohit- A prolific six-hitter

He not only accomplished his 21st ODI ton but became the fourth fastest batsman to 21 ODI tons. Moreover, he also racked up his seventh 150 plus scores in the One Day format. Furthermore, he also features second in the list of batsmen with the highest sixes/innings ratio. Rohit presently has 198 sixes to his name in 186 innings at a ratio of 1.07.

Kieron Pollard, the Windies batsman, is on top of the ladder with a ratio of 1.16. He has hit 110 sixes in 95 innings. MS Dhoni, who is currently straining for form in international cricket, is 10th on the list with a ratio of 0.78 courtesy of 218 sixes from 281 innings. Rohit is above the likes of Brendon McCullum and Shahid Afridi with a ratio of 0.88 and 0.95 respectively.

Chris Gayle, who withdrew himself from the ODI series, is third on the list with a ratio of 0.99. He has hit 275 sixes in 284 matches. Former South African batsman AB de Villiers has a ratio of 0.94. Afridi is the one with the most number of sixes in ODI cricket (351). Martin Guptill, Eoin Morgan, and Chris Cairns also feature in the table.
