IND vs ENG: Whenever Rohit Sharma, the captain of Team India and famous as Hitman all over the world, takes the field, some record or the other is definitely his target. Something similar will happen this time too. When Rohit takes the field in the last match of the Test series being played between India and England, he will achieve a new milestone. For this he would need only one six. The match will be played in Dharamshala from March 7.

Last match of India vs England series

The last match of the 5-match Test series being played between India and England will be played in Dharamshala from March 7. For this, both the teams have now reached there. The Indian team has already captured the series by 3.1. But since the match will be played under the World Test Championship, its importance increases. Meanwhile, if we look at the history of the World Test Championship so far, we find that the record of hitting the most number of sixes is in the name of England captain Ben Stokes. Rohit Sharma is at second position. If Rohit Sharma now hits one more six in this test, he will be successful in completing 50 sixes.

Rohit will become the second batsman in the world to hit 50 sixes in WTC.

World Test Championship i.e. WTC is being played since 2019. In this, Ben Stokes is occupying the number one position by hitting 78 sixes in 81 innings of 44 matches. Whereas Rohit Sharma has so far hit 49 sixes in 53 innings of 31 matches. That means, if he hits one more six, he will become the second player in the world to complete 50 sixes. Just as there is a lot of difference between the first and second batsmen, in the same way there is a lot of difference between the second and third batsmen. The third position is occupied by India's Rishabh Pant, who has hit 38 sixes in 41 innings of 24 matches. Rishabh Pant is currently away from cricket due to injury, but it is expected that he may make a comeback soon.

The fifth test will not be easy for England

Barring the first match, the Indian team has performed brilliantly in this series so far. At a time when neither Virat Kohli is playing and batsmen like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane are out. At the same time, Mohammed Shami is also not able to play due to injury. In such a situation, the way the young team India is performing under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma is praiseworthy. From Yashasvi Jaiswal to Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are performing well. Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep are bowling excellently along with Jasprit Bumrah. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are also doing wonders with ball and bat. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how the England team captained by Ben Stokes faces him in the last match.
