Delhi: The ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is at its final stage. Both teams will play the last and decisive Test match of the series in Sydney. The Indian team is trailing by 1-2 and with a win in this match, they will not only want to level the series but will also aim to secure a place in the final of the World Test Championship.
Virender Sehwag’s record in danger
In this important match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has a golden opportunity to break a big record. Rohit is just four sixes away from becoming the Indian batsman who has hit the most sixes in Test cricket.
At present, Virender Sehwag is at first place in this list with 91 sixes. Rohit Sharma is at second position with 89 sixes and if he hits four sixes in the Sydney Test, he will leave Sehwag behind.
Indian batsman with most number of sixes (Test cricket):
1. Virender Sehwag – 91
2. Rohit Sharma – 89
3. Mahendra Singh Dhoni – 78
4. Ravindra Jadeja – 69
5. Sachin Tendulkar – 69
Rohit’s recent form is a matter of concern
Rohit Sharma’s recent performance is a cause for concern. In the current series, so far he has been able to score only 31 runs in 4 matches. As captain, the responsibility of taking the team forward is on his shoulders, and his contribution in this match can prove to be decisive for India.
