IPL 2025: Rohit Sharma breaks Chris Gayle’s record with barrage of sixes

Even if Rohit Sharma’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season isn’t going well by his standards, he has shattered a long-standing record that Chris Gayle set. Rohit broke the record for the most T20 sixes in a single nation when he smashed Jamie Overton for his first six against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Rohit Sharma moved to 358 sixes in India, leaving Gayle behind.

Most sixes in a country in T20s:

360* – Rohit Sharma in India

357 – Chris Gayle in India

325 – Virat Kohli in India

286 – MS Dhoni in India

276 – Kieron Pollard in West Indies

With a couple more sixes after that, he reached 30 runs for the first time this season. In India, the IPL has accounted for 246 of his sixes. Rohit is the third-highest run scorer in IPL history overall. However, he is on the verge of taking second position.

Against CSK, Rohit began the season with a duck. Prior to this match, he had previously managed scores of 8, 13, 17, 18, and 26.

MI has won its last two games and is currently ranked sixth in the IPL 2025 points standings. They will move up to sixth place if they win here.
