Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has etched his name deeper into the franchise’s history books by overtaking Kieron Pollard for the most sixes hit while representing the five-time IPL champions. The team proudly announced this achievement through their official Instagram account following their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing TATA IPL season.
Hitman Claims The Six-Hitting Crown
The post shared by Mumbai Indians features a celebratory message stating “SUPER CHA RAHA” (Super is happening) with the caption: “Hitman overtakes the Llord for most sixes in Blue & Gold.”
This milestone adds to Sharma’s already impressive legacy with the franchise, where he has been instrumental in leading Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles. The achievement is particularly notable given Pollard’s reputation as one of T20 cricket’s most explosive batsmen during his tenure with Mumbai Indians.
The Mumbai Indians Legacy
Mumbai Indians is one of the most successful teams in IPL history. Founded in 2008, the franchise is owned by India’s biggest conglomerate Reliance Industries, through its subsidiary IndiaWin Sports. The team has claimed IPL championships in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.
Rohit Sharma’s journey with Mumbai Indians began when he was acquired from Deccan Chargers in 2011. Since then, he has been the cornerstone of the franchise’s batting lineup and leadership structure. His ability to hit sixes has been a defining feature of his aggressive batting style, which has now been officially recognized with this record.
Recent Form And Performances
Rohit has been in impressive form recently. He scored 70 runs of 46 balls in the match against SRH. In a recent match against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium, he scored a commanding 76* off just 45 balls.
This record-breaking achievement by Rohit Sharma adds another chapter to Mumbai Indians’ rich history in the IPL and further cements the captain’s status as one of the tournament’s greatest players. As the TATA IPL 2024 season progresses, fans will be watching to see how many more sixes the “Hitman” adds to his growing tally.
