Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has enjoyed a fine run of form in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 so far, scoring 700 runs in nine matches and 16 innings at an average of 46.66, with three centuries and three fifties
The "Hitman" of Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma is currently placed at the 11th spot on the list of the most sixes in Test history. Ahead of the upcoming Bangladesh series, if he manages to smash eight maximums, then he will overtake Virender Sehwag to become the country's leading six-hitter in history
With 12 Test centuries, 31 ODI centuries and five T20I centuries, the right-hander has registered 48 centuries in international cricket. Team India's skipper is just two tons shy from achieving the milestone of completing 50 international centuries. He will become only the third Indian batter to reach this milestone and overall 10th player to do so
For Rohit Sharma's side, this series against Bangladesh will be followed by New Zealand's tour of India for three Tests starting from October 16, and then the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia from November 22
