New Delhi: In the third and final match of the India-South Africa series in Visakhapatnam, Rohit Sharma came close to breaking Chris Gayle’s world record for the most sixes by an opening batsman in ODIs. Rohit played an impressive knock, as he scored 75 off 73 balls, which included 7 fours and 3 sixes, and notched up his 61st ODI fifty in 54 balls. If he had managed to hit 5 sixes in the innings as an opener, he would have claimed the record, but he fell short by two. The milestone continues to be held by Chris Gayle.
