India vs Windies 2018: Rohit Sharma Joins Virat Kohli on List of Most Boundary Hitters in T20Is

Of late, breaking records has become a regular habit for the Indian batsmen. In every game, someone or the other kept on achieving something for team India. Of all, the frequent demolisher of the records has been Rohit Sharma. In the latest, he joins Virat Kohli on the list of most boundary scorers in the T20I format.

Rohit joins yet another elite list

Rohit Sharma, in his stunning century in Lucknow, equalled Kiwis former great, Brendon McCullum in top five leading boundary scorers in T20I, as they both were on the same stairs with 199 boundaries to their name.

However, in his brief stay at the crease in Chennai, Rohit managed to hit a boundary and entered the elite club of batsmen with more than 200 fours in T20Is. Now, he equalled yet another Kiwi, Martin Guptill with 200 boundaries.

Speaking after the match, Rohit said ”Games like these happen a lot. Especially in the IPL, these have happened a lot. We wanted to be ruthless and not take a backseat. This kind of performance gives a lot of confidence. We didn’t want to be complacent and wanted to come out and win. As a team, there is always scope for improvement.”

“It is important to stick to your strengths, and a lot of these guys have not played much for India so a home series like this was the perfect opportunity to show their talent. I was also very impressed with the fielding efforts in this tournament by the team,” he further added.

Tillakaratne Dilshan leads the chart with Virat Kohli placed Third:

The former Sri Lankan batsman, Tillakaratne Dilshan, who has been pretty sublime during his days is leading the list with 223 boundaries to his name. Afghanistan opening batsman, Mohammad Shahzad follows him with 218 fours.

Meanwhile, the regular India skipper, Virat Kohli is placed third with 214 boundaries while Martin Guptill and Rohit Sharma share fourth place with 200. The fifth in the list is Kiwis legendary player Brendon McCullum.
