India opening batsman Rohit Sharma achieved multiple milestones during the second T20I between India and New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland. Played on Friday (February 8), Rohit became the highest run scorer in T20I cricket when he smacked Ish Sodhi for a six over backward square leg. As Rohit Sharma ticked past 2272 runs, he went past Martin Guptill for most runs in a T20I career. AdvertisingPlaying his 92nd T20I, Rohit eclipsed Guptill when a delivery by Sodhi was helped along with a meaty hit after a swivel to send it to the first floor over backward square leg. It took him to third in list of most sixes in T20I career behind West Indies’ Chris Gayle and New Zealand’s Martin Guptill – both on 103 sixes.
