Rohit Sharma Aims for Record in Tests Against Bangladesh

Indian captain Rohit Sharma is set to lead his team in a two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting September 19 at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. He is on the cusp of two significant milestones: needing just eight more sixes to surpass Virender Sehwag's record of 91, and aiming to become the first Indian to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket. Currently, he has 84 sixes and is the second-highest six-hitter for India, trailing only Sehwag. Additionally, Rohit is two centuries away from reaching 50 international centuries, joining Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in this exclusive club. The series is crucial for India's qualification for the World Test Championship final, with their performance in the upcoming matches against New Zealand also playing a key role. Rohit has scored 700 runs in the ongoing World Test Championship cycle, positioning him as a vital player for the team's success.
