IND vs WI 2nd T20I: Rohit Sharma in line to break massive two records held by fellow T20I captain
India captain Rohit Sharma’s record in the T20Is is so high that he breaks some world records every time he comes to bat. In the first T20I, he briefly overtook Virat Kohli to become the format’s second-highest ever scorer before the latter regained the mantle in the same game.
Rohit struck three sixes on the way from 19 to 40 in the first T20I as India won by six wickets. If he hits another three in Friday’s second T20I match, Rohit will outscore Australia captains Aaron Finch and Afghan Hazratullah Zazai for most sixes against a single team.
Finch hit 34 sixes against England, while Zazai hit just as many against Ireland. Rohit is currently 32 for the West Indies game.
Meanwhile, Rohit holds another record held by Finch. The 34-year-old is 36 times away from being the second-highest scorer on a single team in the T20Is. Finch made 594 appearances against England, while Rohit made 559.
Rohit helped India fly the first T20I and they chased 158 targets. However, West Indies managed to pull things back after his dismissal, dragging the game into the 19th inning.
It was Suryakumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer who put India back in the driver’s seat after Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant all failed to shoot. The pair set a 26-ball, 48-run unbeaten streak for the fifth wicket and Venkatesh completed the chase with six.
India are now looking to seal the series victory by beating West Indies in the second of three T20Is contested between the two teams. Previously, India had beaten West Indies 3-0 in their previous three ODI series.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
