The aggressive attitude of the Indian captain took India ahead at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. During the eighth over, Rohit hit his third six of the game and created a new world record. With this, he needs only three more sixes to cross Gayle's tally of 553 international sixes. Rohit not only broke the record but also completed 1000 runs in the ODI World Cup, further cementing his status as a cricket legend.
The winning moment came when Rohit hit a powerful six over deep midwicket off Naveen Ul-Haq.
