Rohit Sharma delivered his best performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 against Australia in the Super 8 Group 1 clash at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia on Monday.

The Team India captain survived an early scare but later looked in cruise control of the proceedings as he reached his half-century in 19 deliveries. He continued to excel in his innings after reaching his half-century by smacking the deliveries to all parts of the ground. However, he was dismissed by an inch-perfect yorker by veteran Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc.

The 37-year-old outscored his previous best score of an unbeaten 52 against Ireland that he scored in the T20 World Cup 2024 Group Stage match. His 41-ball knock was laced with seven boundaries and eight hits over the top.

Let us have a look at the records shattered by Rohit Sharma:

• Rohit Sharma now has the most runs in T20I cricket. He is on 4165 ahead of Babar Azam (4145) and Virat Kohli (4103).
• Rohit Sharma is now the the first player to hit 200 sixes in T20 Internationals
