[WATCH]- Rohit Sharma Matches Chris Gayle’s Milestone In IPL 2025 Clash

Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma added another milestone to his illustrious career by setting a new record during the IPL 2025 Eliminator against Gujarat Titans (GT). The match is taking place in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Friday, May 30. The right-handed batsman struck two sixes to become only the second player in the T20 league’s history to hit 300 sixes.

At 37 years old, Rohit also became the first Indian to reach this landmark. He reached the milestone with a powerful six off Rashid Khan in the ninth over. The leg spinner delivered a slower ball outside off stump, and Rohit skillfully crouched down to lift the ball high over square leg for a maximum. You can watch the video here:

Dropped Catches Help Rohit Sharma Shine in IPL 2025 Eliminator Against GT

During the match against the Gujarat Titans, Rohit Sharma was dropped twice—the first drop came just 11 balls into his innings. The second missed catch was more costly for the Titans, as it was an easy caught-behind opportunity for Kusal Mendis. Notably, the six that took Rohit to 300 sixes also pushed his IPL runs tally past 7,000.

He also put together an 84-run opening partnership with fellow opener Jonny Bairstow.
