Newsroom, November 30, 2025: Rohit Sharma, the swashbuckling architect of India's white-ball triumphs, etched his name deeper into cricket lore by surpassing Shahid Afridi's long-standing record for the most sixes in One Day Internationals, his 352nd maximum clearing the ropes in a domestic clash that recalled the audacious flair of the Pakistani all-rounder's prime.
The 37-year-old opener, whose bat has redefined aggression in the 50-over format, achieved the feat with a signature pull off a short ball, sending the crowd into a frenzy and underscoring a journey from Mumbai streets to World Cup glory.
Afridi's 351 sixes, amassed over 398 matches from 1996 to 2015, embodied the Boom Boom legend's whirlwind style, but Rohit's haul spanning 267 ODIs since 2007 blends calculated power with tactical nous, powering India's 2023 World Cup charge and 2024 T20 triumph.
The record, one of 15 ODI landmarks Sharma holds, highlights his evolution from a T20 dasher to a format-agnostic force, averaging 49 in chases.
