Rohit Sharma Eyes Double Record: Afridi's Sixes & Kallis' Runs in 2nd ODI!

  • Rohit Sharma needs just 2 sixes in the 2nd ODI against New Zealand to surpass Shahid Afridi's record of 50 sixes against the Black Caps.
  • Currently, Rohit has 49 sixes in 32 ODIs against New Zealand, while Afridi hit 50 in 38 matches.
  • Rohit also needs 38 more runs to overtake Jacques Kallis' tally of 11,579 ODI runs, becoming the 8th highest run-scorer.
  • He is currently at 11,542 runs in 280 ODIs, compared to Kallis' 11,579 runs in 328 ODIs.
  • A century in the upcoming match would also see Rohit break Sachin Tendulkar's record for most centuries as an opener for India in international cricket.

Why It Matters: Rohit Sharma is on the verge of breaking two significant ODI records against New Zealand and Jacques Kallis.
