After the second group of players left on Monday night, May 27, the Team India roster for the T20 World Cup will shortly come together in New York. Captain Rohit Sharma is now in New York getting ready for the massive event. He was a member of the initial group that left on Saturday, May 25. Possibly his final tournament in the format, he is scheduled to play in his ninth T20 World Cup.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma is about to smash a number of tournament records having participated in every World Cup to date in that format. He is fourth on the list of players with the most runs scored despite having participated in the majority of the competition’s matches. But this time around, the 37-year-old is sure to surpass Mahela Jayawardene and Chris Gayle on the list.
During the T20 World Cup, Rohit has amassed 963 runs in 36 innings at an average of 34.39, nine fifties, and a strike rate of 127.88. With just three more runs, he can overtake Univers Boss Gayle, who has amassed 965 runs and is no longer playing international cricket. Additionally, Rohit is just 54 runs away from surpassing Mahela Jayawardene, who during his playing career accumulated 1016 in the huge event.
At an incredible average of 81.5, Virat Kohli tops the list with 1141 runs in just 25 innings. He will also be featured in the next edition. Returning to Rohit Sharma, he has the potential to overtake Gayle on the record of players with the most sixes at the Twenty20 World Cup. The Indian captain, who is 29 sixes behind Gayle in this regard, will need to have a spectacular World Cup in order for that to occur.
