IPL 2025: Rohit Sharma Becomes First Indian Batter to Smash 300 Sixes
Rohit Sharma, one of the most prolific and celebrated batters in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, etched his name into the record books once again by becoming the first Indian cricketer to hit 300 sixes in the IPL. The historic moment came during the IPL 2025 Eliminator match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at New Chandigarh on Friday.
With this feat, Rohit joins an elite list of only two players in the league’s history to achieve this landmark — the other being the legendary Chris Gayle, who remains the undisputed king of six-hitting in IPL.
The 300th six was a towering shot that exemplified Rohit Sharma’s elegant yet destructive batting style. Known for his effortless strokeplay, Rohit has consistently been among the top run-getters and six-hitters in the tournament over the years.
His milestone six not only boosted Mumbai Indians in a must-win clash but also highlighted the longevity and consistency of his T20 career.
| Player | Sixes | Matches Played |
|---|---|---|
| Chris Gayle | 357 | 142 |
| Rohit Sharma | 300* | 251+ |
| Virat Kohli | 291 | 250+ |
| MS Dhoni | 264 | 250+ |
| AB de Villiers | 251 | 184 |
As the first Indian to cross the 300-sixes mark, Rohit Sharma’s achievement reflects the evolution of Indian batting in T20 cricket. Once considered conservative, Indian batters are now at the forefront of global T20 innovation, and Rohit stands as a prime example. His journey from a promising youngster in 2008 to a T20 titan in 2025 is a tale of adaptability, skill, and hunger for excellence.
