Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is on the cusp of a significant milestone, as he stands just two sixes away from surpassing the legendary MS Dhoni in the record for the most sixes by an Indian in Test history. The current record holder, the legendary Virender Sehwag, leads with an impressive tally of 91 sixes across 104 Tests.

Rohit Sharma set to surpass Dhoni in list of most Test sixes for India

MS Dhoni, known for his formidable finishing skills, has smashed 78 sixes in his Test career spanning 90 matches. Rohit, with 77 sixes from just 56 Tests, will be eyeing to move past Dhoni's record, a feat he could achieve in the upcoming third Test against England, slated to begin on February 15 in Rajkot.

Despite a series of modest scores—24, 39, 14, and 13—in the first two Tests of the ongoing series, Rohit Sharma's potential to make headlines remains undimmed. Known for his spirit and capacity to make a strong comeback, expectations are high for him to break Dhoni's record in the upcoming match. His ability to hit the long ball with ease has always been a hallmark of his game, and fans are eager to see him unleash his power once again on the field.

Meanwhile, Rohit's journey in this series has been about more than just personal milestones. Under his leadership, Team India staged a stunning comeback to level the series 1-1 against England, overcoming a defeat in the series opener in Hyderabad.

The Indian team, even in the absence of stalwarts like KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Virat Kohli, managed to clinch a 106-run victory in the second Test. They will look to carry the momentum in the third Test and secure a win.
