Cricket Desk: Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is destroying the Kolkata Knight Riders bowling attack in Abu Dhabi right now, and the right-handed batsman touched a massive milestone during the fifth game of IPL 2020.

The Hitman has become only the second Indian batsman in IPL history to slam 200 sixes. Sharma, who has played for Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians in the IPL, hit his 200th six off Kuldeep Yadav's fourth ball in the 14th over of Mumbai's innings.

Among the players playing in IPL 2020, Virat Kohli, David Warner, and Shane Watson have hit more than 180 sixes in the league.
