Mumbai, June 25 Rohit's explosive innings featured an unforgettable over against Mitchell Starc, where he scored 29 runs, including four towering sixes, one of which traveled a massive 100 meters. Rohit broke innumerable records during his magnificent 92-run knock as Indian fans had a field day on social media. Rohit also became the first player in T20Is to hit 200 sixes. He delivered a stunning performance, hitting eight sixes and bringing his total to 207. This achievement not only made him the leading six-hitter in T20Is but also propelled him past David Warner and Jos Buttler to become the second- highest six-hitter in T20 World Cup history. Furthermore, he shattered Yuvraj Singh's record for the most sixes in an innings in a T20 World Cup, as well as the record for the fastest fifty by a captain in T20 World Cup history, previously held by ex-Bangladesh skipper Mohammad Ashraful. Sharma seemed poised to notch up a record-breaking century, but his innings was cut short at 92 off 41 balls when Starc, seeking redemption, managed to bowl him out. Despite falling short of a century, Rohit's innings left a lasting impact and ignited a meme fest on social media, with fans celebrating his vengeance against the Aussies.
