Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma created a new history during the India-Pakistan match on 9 June. He became the first batsman in the world to hit a six in the first over of T20I by Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

 

The great match was played between India and Pakistan on 9 June in the T20 World Cup 2024. Babar Azam won the toss and gave India a chance to bat first. In the first over, Rohit Sharma faced Shaheen Shah Afridi. Rohit Sharma created history on the third ball of the same over. He registered a unique record in his name by hitting a brilliant six in the first over of Shaheen Shah Afridi in the T20I.

 

Rohit became the first batsman in the world

 

In fact, to date, no batsman had hit a six in the first over of Shaheen Afridi in T20I, but what no one could do was done by Rohit Sharma. On the third ball of the first over, Shaheen bowled a bad ball on the pad line. Rohit easily flicked it towards deep square leg and hit a brilliant six. The entire stadium was thrilled to see this shot of Rohit.

 

He has done this feat in ODIs too

 

This was the first time in Shaheen Afridi's 68 T20I matches that a batsman hit a six in his first over. Not only this, Rohit Sharma is the first batsman to hit a six in Shaheen Afridi's first over in ODIs. In the Super-4 match of Asia Cup 2023, Rohit achieved this feat by hitting a six after playing five dot balls.
