In IPL 2023 you saw MS Dhoni completing 5000 runs. Saw KL Rahul become the fastest to score 4000 runs. Now you will see Rohit Sharma scoring 6000 runs. Hitting 250 sixes. Breaking AB de Villiers' record and joining the club of Virat Kohli. Yes, this is the unique mission of Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma against KKR. When the 16th season of IPL started, Rohit Sharma was not seen in colour. But in the last match, he also gave evidence of being in form with his complexion. He scored runs against Delhi Capitals at his own home and led from the front as captain in his team's victory.
Two super records away from 5 sixes and 44 runs
Mumbai Indians have to play against KKR at their home ground. This means Rohit Sharma will have a full chance to measure the distance of 5 sixes and 44 runs. If he retained the Delhi form in Mumbai as well, then today he can be seen becoming a part of not one but two super records related to IPL.
Rohit Sharma can become 6th Hazari
If Rohit Sharma scores 44 against KKR at Mumbai's Wankhede ground today, then he will complete his 6000 runs in IPL. Meaning he will be the fourth batsman in the history of this league, who will have 6000 or more runs attached to his name. So far Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner have achieved this feat. Meaning Rohit will be the third Indian to score 6000 runs in IPL.
Chance to become the first Indian to hit 250 sixes
Rohit Sharma hit 4 sixes in the last match against Delhi to reach 65 runs. But if he hit 5 sixes against KKR, he would become the overall third and first Indian batsman to hit 250 plus sixes in IPL. Chris Gayle has the maximum number of 357 sixes in IPL. Whereas AB de Villiers is at number two with 251 sixes. Meaning, Rohit will also have a chance to leave de Villiers behind.
