Guwahati (Assam) [India], September 30 (ANI): India’s star opener Rohit Sharma added yet another monumental milestone to his white-ball legacy on Wednesday, becoming the first batter in One Day International (ODI) history to hit 200 sixes in a single country.The “Hitman” achieved the historic feat on home soil during a blistering 32-ball half-century against the West Indies in the second ODI at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

The marathon total was anchored by majestic centuries from John Campbell, skipper Shai Hope—who capitalised on two dropped catches—and a devastating late-overs acceleration from Amir Jangoo, who surged from 59 off 54 balls to complete a 70-ball century.The milestone further underlines the veteran opener’s remarkable consistency and power-hitting in ODI cricket, with the Indian opener continuing to be one of the format’s most prolific six-hitters.Earlier, riding on majestic centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo, West Indies produced a stunning batting display to post a massive 405/7 in their 50 overs against India in the second ODI at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.Campbell took the attack to the Indian bowlers during the powerplay, setting the tone for a sensational century.
