IND vs BAN Test: Rohit Sharma has made a big change in his batting style in recent years. He plays aggressively as soon as he comes to the crease and scores runs quickly, which reduces the pressure on the subsequent batsmen. In the last decade, he has won many losing matches for India and has set a record by scoring three double centuries in ODI cricket.

Now, Rohit Sharma has a chance to break Virender Sehwag's record in Test cricket as well. Compared to Sehwag's 90 sixes, Rohit has hit 84 sixes. If he hits 7 more sixes in the upcoming series against Bangladesh, he will break Sehwag's record.

The record for most sixes in Test cricket is held by England's Ben Stokes, who has hit 131 sixes, while Brendon McCullum has hit 107 sixes.

Rohit Sharma made his Test debut in 2013 and has so far scored 4137 runs in 59 Test matches. Currently, the Indian team is at number one in the points table of the World Test Championship, while Bangladesh is at seventh place. The September series will prove to be important for this championship.
