MI vs DC Match / Rohit Sharma created a historic record in IPL, leaving all Indian batsmen behind

Rohit Sharma became the first Indian batsman to hit 50 sixes in IPL against Delhi Capitals. Even though his performance in IPL 2025 was lackluster, this achievement has brought him back into the limelight. Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi by 12 runs.

MI vs DC Match: Rohit Sharma, known as the Hitman of Indian cricket, is counted among the best players in IPL history. He has been playing every season since 2008 and has made Mumbai Indians champion five times under his captaincy. However, his performance in IPL 2025 has not been as expected so far and he has not scored a single half-century. But in the recent match against Delhi Capitals, he achieved a historic feat.

50 sixes against just one team

Even though Rohit scored 18 runs off just 12 balls in this match, a six off his bat got recorded in the record book. With this six, Rohit Sharma completed 50 sixes against Delhi Capitals. With this, he has become the first Indian batsman to hit 50 sixes against a single team in the IPL. Earlier this record was in the name of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who hit 49 sixes against RCB.

Another record in Rohit's name

With this new record, Rohit has proved that even though his form has been fluctuating this season, his experience and ability cannot be ignored. Hitting 50 sixes against Delhi Capitals is not only an example of his aggressive batting, but also shows that he is a player of big occasions.
