Rohit was also wished by none other than Chris Gayle himself after achieving the feat as the former West Indies player took to Twitter to congratulate Rohit for surpassing his record against Afghanistan.

 I've taken a leaf out of Gayle's book: Rohit Sharma after smashing sixes record | ODI World Cup 2023

Rohit Sharma lauded Chris Gayle after breaking the record for most sixes in international cricket, previously held by the 'Universe Boss'

#RohitSharma #CWC23

<h2>Rohit was also wished by none other than Chris Gayle himself after achieving the feat as the former West Indies player took to Twitter to congratulate Rohit for surpassing his record.</h2>

After surpassing Chris Gayle's record of most sixes in international cricket on Wednesday, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said he has taken some inspiration from the 'Universe Boss' himself in his journey.
During his record-breaking 81-ball 131 against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Rohit hammered five sixes to reach 556 maximums across three formats, three more than the West Indian left-hander.
Rohit reached the landmark in 453 matches, precisely 30 games less than Gayle.
"Universe Boss is Universe Boss. I have taken a leaf out of his book. Over the years, we have seen him, such a six-hitting machine he is wherever he plays.
"We wear the same jersey (No. 45). I am sure he is happy about it because jersey No. 45 has done it (breaking his record)," said Rohit in a video posted by the BCCI.
Rohit was also wished by none other than Chris Gayle himself after achieving the feat as the former West Indies player took to Twitter to congratulate Rohit for surpassing his record against Afghanistan.
Rohit said a lot of work has gone into developing his six-hitting skills over the years.
"When I started playing this game, I never thought I would be able to hit sixes, leave alone that many sixes. Obviously, a lot of work has been put into it over the years. So, I am quite happy with the work that I have done.
"I am the sort of person who is not satisfied (with what he has been doing), and I want to continue what I am doing. My focus is on that. Yeah, it is a small happy moment for me," said the right-handed opener.
The 36-year-old patted his bowlers for restricting Afghanistan to a below-par total on a surface that suited batsmen.
"For us, the focus is on those small things which is to look into the opposition that we play. Today was Afghanistan, and to play well here... we understood the conditions and played well.
"I thought we played a brilliant game. The bowlers did an exceptional job to restrict Afghanistan to below 280 because the wicket was really good to bat on," said Rohit.
The skipper urged the team to focus on the job at hand rather than thinking about the knockout stages.
"It is a very different format that we play now, the World Cup -- 9 league games and then the semifinals and final. For us what was important was to look at every game that came our way and not to look too far ahead," he added.&nbsp;
Rohit was also wished by none other than Chris Gayle himself after achieving the feat as the former West Indies player took to Twitter to congratulate Rohit for surpassing his record against Afghanistan.

<h2>Nigerian singer Rema, who is popularly known for his song &lsquo;Calm Down&rsquo;, arrived in India on Tuesday. He is all set to perform as part of his &lsquo;Rema Calm Down India Tour&rsquo;.&nbsp;</h2>

Nigerian singer Rema, who is popularly known for his song &lsquo;Calm Down&rsquo;, arrived in India on Tuesday. He is all set to perform as part of his &lsquo;Rema Calm Down India Tour&rsquo;. He will perform in India for the first time in multiple cities between May 12 and 14. Rema will perform in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle will be making a surprise guest appearance on stage at the Mumbai leg of the tour where Rema will premiere his new track. Gayle will be premiering the teaser of his track &lsquo;Oh Fatima&rsquo; live at the show. He will be joined by his collaborator, Indian singer-songwriter and composer Arko Pravo Mukherjee.
As Rema also known as Divine Ikubor gets ready to enthrall his Indian fans, it has been reported that ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra will design his special outfit.
A source close to the designer revealed to Hindustan Times, &lsquo;Rema is a huge admirer of India. He&rsquo;s expressed a keen interest to sample various homegrown facets. Since Manish Malhotra is the frontrunner of the fashion world of India, he was Rema&rsquo;s first choice when it came to sampling designs.&rsquo;
&lsquo;The outfit that is being made will entail some form of indigenous integration in terms of design and material to ensure there&rsquo;s cross-cultural representation. Rema and Manish are likely to meet on Wednesday at the latter&rsquo;s atelier for the final round of fittings since most of the discussion has happened remotely thus far,&rsquo; the source added.
Rema is the only Nigerian artist to enter the Billboard Top 100 chart with &lsquo;Calm Down&rsquo;, which reached No. 6 spot.

Jersey No. 17 had become synonymous with de Villiers, who played 11 seasons (2011-2021) for RCB and scored 4,491 runs in 156 matches for the franchise.

RCB to retire jersey numbers worn by AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle

Royal Challengers Bangalore has decided to retire jersey numbers 17 and 333 on March 26!

Tap to know why

Jersey No. 17 had become synonymous with de Villiers, who played 11 seasons (2011-2021) for RCB and scored 4,491 runs in 156 matches for the franchise.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will retire the jersey numbers worn by AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle when the two cricketing legends are inducted into the Indian Premier League (IPL) side's Hall of Fame on March 26.
"Jersey numbers 17 and 333 will be retired forever as a tribute to AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle, when we induct the legends of RCB into the Hall of Fame," RCB tweeted.
Jersey No. 17 had become synonymous with de Villiers, who played 11 seasons (2011-2021) for RCB and scored 4,491 runs in 156 matches for the franchise.
The charismatic South African cricketer also slammed 37 half-tons and two centuries for RCB, with a highest score of 133 not out in 2015.
De Villiers, who announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in November 2021, had a strike rate touching 152 for RCB.
With Virat Kohli, de Villiers posted five 100-plus partnerships for RCB and two 200-plus stands, the only pair in the world to post two such partnerships.
West Indian hard hitter Gayle played for RCB for seven season (2011-2017) and his jersey No. 333 became the most feared among opposing teams.
During the 2013 IPL season, the Jamaican smashed a mindboggling 708 runs in 16 matches for RCB, including an unbeaten 175.
Gayle began his stint with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2009, before moving to RCB, where he served the longest stint with an IPL franchise. He was bought by Punjab Kings in 2018, where he played four seasons

IND vs BAN: Record-breaker Ishan Kishan smashes double hundred against Bangladesh

Only the 4th Indian to breach the 200-mark, Ishan Kishan also ensured he now holds the record for the fastest double ton in ODIs.

Here's a reminder of the records he broke with his sensational knock.

The youngest player to score an ODI double ton, 24-year-old Kishan joined an elite list that includes Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma (3), Chris Gayle, Martin Guptill &amp; Fakhar Zaman.

A magical knock!
The quickest double hundred in ODIs - Ishan Kishan was on fire in Chattogram in the final ODI against Bangladesh.
The youngest player to score an ODI double ton, 24-year-old Kishan joined an elite list that includes Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma (3), Chris Gayle, Martin Guptill &amp; Fakhar Zaman.
6 of the 9 ODI double-hundreds have now been scored by Indians, with Rohit Sharma the only cricketer to have reached the 200-run mark more than once. The Indian captain, who is missing from action due to injury, has breached the record landmark on three occasions previously.
So, it was only fitting that Kishan, who replaced the injured Rohit in the XI, converted his maiden ODI hundred into a double ton.
His innings progression was also stunning. While he got to his 100 in 85 deliveries, he took just 41 balls to go from 100 to 200. He bludgeoned 24 fours and 10 sixes during his stay at the crease.
With a total of 126 balls taken for 200, the southpaw also broke Chris Gayle&rsquo;s record for the fastest double ton in the format. The Universe Boss had taken 138 deliveries to reach the milestone against Zimbabwe at the 2015 ODI World Cup.

From being labelled as the favourites to win the T20 World Cup 2021, to being on the cusp of crashing out, what went wrong for 2-time champions West Indies?

T20 World Cup 2021: West Indies, from favourites to being on the cusp of crashing out

With power hitters like no others and the tag of being the only team on the planet to win 2 World T20 titles, West Indies was once being regarded as the team to watch out for in the T20 World Cup 2021. But after just 2 games, the defending champions&nbsp;could be heading for an early exit.
BITE: KIERON&nbsp;POLLARD, Captain, West Indies (1st bite from 1st match)
'It's disappointing to start, you know, a tournament like that being defending champions.'
2 back-to-back losses to England and South Africa have exposed the&nbsp;Windies' poor batting ability, which is still dependent on the old workhorses. While 42-year-old Chris Gayle and 36-year-old&nbsp;Lendl Simmons&nbsp;have&nbsp;failed to deliver with the bat, 38-year-old Dwayne Bravo has fallen flat as the all-rounder. Windies&nbsp;also have 37-year-old Ravi&nbsp;Rampaul&nbsp;in their ranks, who has managed to take just 1 wicket in 2 games so far.&nbsp;Out of the 19 squad members this time around, 10 were also a part of the 2016 World Cup-winning team 5 years ago. Interestingly, the average age of the West Indies squad is by far&nbsp;the highest among all teams in the competition.&nbsp;
While the Chennai Super Kings might have proved that age is just a number in cricket, but a world tournament is a different ball game altogether. Their batters have let the team down in both matches so far and it makes one believe that several former Windies' stars including&nbsp;Curtly Ambrose being critical of this team was right. While Gayle has scored just 25 runs at run a ball in 2 games so far, Simmons had a strike rate of below 50 in both innings.
BITE: KIERON&nbsp;POLLARD, Captain, West Indies
"Well, we just have to do what it takes. You know, we have to dig deeper, you know, as a team, we have to dig deeper as a batting unit. And we have to come out and, you know, hold our heads up and, you know, try to play a good game of cricket. We have to get wins on the board now."
Windies now take on Bangladesh on Friday and will need a miracle to stand a chance to qualify for the semi-finals. Even if they manage to get 3 wins under their belt, the&nbsp;Windies&nbsp;would have to hope other results to go their way in order to progress.

From being labelled as the favourites to win the T20 World Cup 2021, to being on the cusp of crashing out, what went wrong for 2-time champions West Indies?

With power hitters like no others and the tag of being the only team on the planet to win 2 World T20 titles, West Indies was once being regarded as the team to watch out for in the T20 World Cup 2021. But after just 2 games, the defending champions&nbsp;could be heading for an early exit.
2 back-to-back losses to England and South Africa have exposed the&nbsp;Windies' poor batting ability, which is still dependent on the old workhorses. While 42-year-old Chris Gayle and 36-year-old&nbsp;Lendl Simmons&nbsp;have&nbsp;failed to deliver with the bat, 38-year-old Dwayne Bravo has fallen flat as the all-rounder. Windies&nbsp;also have 37-year-old Ravi&nbsp;Rampaul&nbsp;in their ranks, who has managed to take just 1 wicket in 2 games so far.&nbsp;Out of the 19 squad members this time around, 10 were also a part of the 2016 World Cup-winning team 5 years ago. Interestingly, the average age of the West Indies squad is by far&nbsp;the highest among all teams in the competition.&nbsp;
