India's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes Rohit Sharma's transformation into a six-hitter is remarkable as he surpassed former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi's six-hitting record, to become the batter with the most sixes in ODIs.
Former India cricketer Atul Wassan said that comparing Rohit Sharma's record of most sixes in ODIs with that of the former Pakistan batter Shahid Afridi, who held the record before the Indian batter, is like "comparing apples with oranges."
Rohit achieved this feat during India's first ODI against South Africa at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi, hitting his 352nd six in the format. He overtook Afridi's 351 sixes, who held the record since 2015.
The moment India captain Rohit Sharma found his groove he didn't waste much time to surpass the former West Indies explosive opener Chris Gayle for the record of most sixes in ODIs.
