The first Test of the three-match series between India and New Zealand is scheduled to begin on October 16 at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The team will be captained by Rohit Sharma as they look to win the series at home for the 18th time in a row. In addition to captaining the team, Rohit will be a valuable batsman. The Indian captain is really about to pull off an incredible achievement that no Indian captain has ever pulled off before.

Riet Sharma 258 Runs Apart From The Past
As of right now in the World Test Championship 2023–25 cycle, Rohit Sharma has 742 runs scored. To reach 1000 runs in the current WTC cycle, he has to score 258 runs in the three-match series against New Zealand. Should he succeed in doing so, he will make history as the first Indian hitter to score a thousand runs or more in a single WTC cycle twice. With 1094 runs scored, he accomplished this accomplishment once in the WTC 2019–21 season.

On the verge of accomplishing a historic six-hit feat, Rohit Sharma

As of right now, Rohit Sharma has amassed 87 sixes in Test cricket. In the longest format of the game, he is ranked second in the list of sixes by an Indian hitter. He would become the first Indian batsman to smash 100 sixes in Test Cricket if he scores 13 in the series. In addition, he’ll join Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum, and Adam Gilchrist as the fourth player.

He needs five more sixes to surpass renowned opener Virender Sehwag’s record of 91 maximums in the longest format and become the Indian with the most sixes by an Indian in Test Cricket.

Set to Shatter Virat Kohli’s Record Is Rohit Sharma

In his WTC career, Rohit Sharma has led India to 12 victories as captain. With 14 victories, Virat Kohli is the most successful Indian skipper in the history of the tournament. Therefore, India must finish a clean sweep in order for Rohit Sharma to surpass Virat’s record with 15 victories.
