Rohit Sharma sixes in ODI cricket stand at 346 right now putting him second overall. He sits just 5 behind Shahid Afridi’s all-time record of 351 ODI 6s. Rohit has been launching balls out of the grounds for more than 15 years.
Rohit Sharma ODI Sixes
Rohit Sharma owns the record for most ODI 6s in one calendar year hitting 59. Nobody else managed to clear boundaries that many times in twelve months of ODI. His fearless approach at the top makes bowlers scared even before they start bowling.
Rohit crossed 1,000 runs in Australia with 29 sixes coming along the way. He averages a healthy 55.77 against the Aussies which isn’t easy to achieve down under. These numbers explain why Rohit stays at the top of the world cricket rankings.
Hitman cleared ropes 150 times in SENA nations (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia). Tough pitches and fast bowlers never stopped Rohit from playing his natural game. Very few batsmen hit boundaries so comfortably away from home like he does.

Rohit Sharma’s World Cup Heroics
Rohit slammed 5 hundreds during the 2019 ODI World Cup breaking every previous tournament record. Nobody scored five tons in one World Cup before him and nobody has since. India reached the semis mostly because Rohit’s bat kept firing throughout that English summer.
Those World Cup innings saw him hitting massive 6s that landed way beyond the boundaries. Rohit’s record-breaking boundaries in ODI tournaments always seem to come when the team needs them.

Rohit Sharma Longest Six Record
Rohit Sharma’s longest six flew 117 meters against KKR back in IPL 2017 matches. That hit still ranks among one of the giant hits cricket has ever witnessed on camera. The cricket ball went so far that it almost left the entire stadium area.
His longest six in other matches also travels huge distances though we don’t always get measurements. Even now Rohit keeps launching 6s at 38 years old like a young player. Afridi’s ODI record will surely fall very soon to this Indian opener.
