Rohit Sharma, India’s Test captain, has once again made history, joining the ranks of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar with a remarkable feat during the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur. Rohit, known for his aggressive approach, delivered a stunning start that left the Bangladesh bowlers reeling.
A Historic Start for Rohit
In his signature style, Rohit began his innings with two consecutive sixes off the first two deliveries. This powerful start not only put Bangladesh on the backfoot but also placed Rohit in the history books alongside Sachin Tendulkar. With this achievement, Rohit became only the third Indian to smash sixes on the first two balls of a Test innings, a rare record.
Indians to Hit Sixes on the First 2 Balls in Test Cricket:
- Sachin Tendulkar – 2013
- Umesh Yadav – 2019
- Rohit Sharma – 2024
Rohit’s aggressive intent from the outset set the tone for India’s innings, as he took control and left the Bangladesh bowling attack with little room to recover. He eventually got bowled by Mehidy Hasan Miraz after scoring a quickfire 23 runs from 11 balls. His knock was braced with three sixes and a boundary.
