The Hitman’s Charge: Rohit Sharma Eyes Multiple Milestones in India-New Zealand Test Series

With his bat dancing like a ballerina and his leadership shining brighter than a supernova, Rohit Sharma is perched on the edge of history, ready to unleash a whirlwind of monumental feats in Test cricket. Here are 5 records the Hitman should shatter in the Test series vs New Zealand.

Most Sixes In Tests

The Indian skipper has smashed 87 sixes in his 61 Test matches and is just 5 sixes away from surpassing Virender Sehwag’s record of 91 maximums in 104 Tests, making him the leading six-hitter for India in Test cricket.

First Indian with 1000 Runs in 2 WTC Cycles

Rohit is on a run-scoring adventure, having amassed 742 runs in just 11 matches during the current World Test Championship cycle. If he can sprinkle in 258 more runs, he'll become the first Indian to hit the magical 1000-run mark across two WTC cycles. Last time around, he dazzled with 1094 runs in 12 matches during the 2019-21 cycle. Let’s hope he’s got his lucky bat ready for the next chapter of this run-fest!

Most Successful Indian Captain in WTC

Rohit, the captain, has already steered India to victory in 12 out of 18 WTC matches. If he can pilot India to triumph in all 3 Tests against New Zealand, he’ll zoom past Virat Kohli’s record of 14 wins, claiming the title of India’s most successful WTC captain.

First Indian with 3000 WTC Runs

The Hitman is on the cusp of smashing his way into the history books as the first Indian batter to hit 3000 runs in the WTC. He’s eyeing just 406 runs in the upcoming 3 Tests against New Zealand—no biggie, right? With 2594 runs from 34 matches already in his pocket, this target is as realistic as a perfectly timed cover drive.

4th Most Successful Indian Captain

Rohit Sharma is on the brink of adding another feather to his captaincy cap! If he can rally the troops and lead India to victory in all 3 Tests against the Blackcaps, he’ll leapfrog Sourav Ganguly as the 4th-most successful Indian skipper. With 95 wins already under his belt across all formats, a clean sweep would be the cherry on top of his captaincy sundae! Can he whip up a victory feast? Let the games begin!
