Mumbai Indians team will play under the leadership of Hardik Pandya in the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Before this, the team has been seen playing under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma for the last several seasons, in which they have also won 5 titles. Rohit Sharma, who is playing in IPL after a long time as a player, would like to answer everyone with the bat this time because last season he was not able to show anything special. Mumbai Indians will start their campaign in the IPL 2024 season with the match against Gujarat Titans which will be played on March 24. Rohit’s target in this IPL season 3 will be such records which he would like to achieve.
Chance to complete the figure of 500 sixes in T20 cricket
Rohit Sharma is known as Hitman in world cricket, the biggest reason for which is that he is seen easily passing the ball through the stadium. Rohit has hit 487 sixes so far in T20 cricket, so if he is successful in hitting 13 more sixes in this season of IPL, then he will become the first Indian player to hit 500 sixes in T20 format. In this case, after Rohit, there is Virat Kohli who currently has 371 sixes in T20 cricket. So far, only 3 players have been successful in hitting more than 500 sixes in T20 cricket, one of which is Chris Gayle with 1065 sixes, followed by Kieron Pollard with 860 sixes and at the third place is West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell.
Will be the first player in this case for Mumbai Indians
Rohit Sharma has played 243 matches in IPL so far, out of which he has played 198 matches for Mumbai Indians. In such a situation, with Rohit playing 2 more matches, he will become the first player from Mumbai Indians in IPL who has played 200 matches. Rohit played the first 3 seasons of his IPL career for Deccan Chargers team in which he played a total of 45 matches. After Rohit, Kieron Pollard has played the most matches for Mumbai Indians, who played a total of 189 matches.
Just 2 steps away from 100 catches in IPL
The record of most catches in IPL so far is in the name of Suresh Raina, who has taken a total of 109 catches. Whereas Rohit Sharma has so far taken 98 catches in the history of IPL, after which he is just 2 steps away from completing 100 catches. In terms of taking the most catches, after Raina, Virat Kohli is at second place and Kieron Pollard is at third place, while Rohit Sharma is currently at fourth place in the list. If Rohit completes the figure of 100 catches in IPL, he will become the fourth player to do so.
