News India Live, Digital Desk: Today is no less than a festival for cricket fans. Whenever there is South Africa’s jersey in front and Rohit Sharma’s bat in his hand, the heart beats automatically. The first ODI match (1st ODI) is to be played today between India and South Africa, and to be honest, more than the match itself, the discussion is about what new feat our captain is going to do today. Let us tell you that at this time Rohit Sharma’s form is no less than a storm. He will enter the field after becoming the world No. 1 ODI batsman. But today’s match is not just about victory or defeat, but also about adding pages to the “Book of Records”. Let us understand in simple language what are those records which can fall at the feet of Hitman today. 1. South Africa holds the record for “most washouts” We all know how much Rohit Sharma loves to score runs against big teams. His statistics against South Africa are already scary. If Rohit plays a good innings today, he will move higher in a very special list of Indian openers who have scored the most runs in ODIs against South Africa. Fans are waiting for his innings in which he spoils the line-length of the Proteas bowlers with his trademark ‘pull shot’. 2. The Sixes King: Rohit and ‘sixer’, these two words have become synonymous with each other. He already has the record of hitting the most number of sixes in international cricket, but today he can touch another new milestone of sixes in ODI cricket. If 3-4 huge sixes come off his bat in today’s match, then he will touch a figure which is beyond the reach of any ordinary batsman. South Africa’s pace battery (fast bowlers) knows that if Rohit gets set, the ball will be found in the stands.3. Collection of centuries: Do you remember the time when Rohit Sharma used to come on the field and was considered guaranteed to score a century? Fans are hopeful that today he can leave behind or equal the greats like Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya by scoring his 32nd (or whatever the current number is) ODI century. The ODI format is his favorite, and the way he takes time in the beginning and beats the bowlers later, today the smell of a century is felt in the air. Look, the real fun of the match, the statistics are in their place, but the real fun is in watching Rohit’s batting. Is in his ‘Elegance’. The delicacy with which he sends the ball across the boundary line is praiseworthy. The command of the Indian team is in his hands. Rohit Sharma knows how to balance the responsibility of captaincy on one hand and his own performance on the other. So keep your popcorn ready, because if the show of “Hitman” starts, records will automatically keep getting broken. Just pray that he stays on the pitch after the toss, his bat will do the rest!
