India vs South Africa, 1st ODI: The 3-match ODI series between India and South Africa is starting from 30th November. The first match will be played in Ranchi. Rohit Sharma is ready to wreak havoc with the bat in this series. His entire focus is on playing the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup to be held in the year 2027. When he comes on the field in the first ODI match against South Africa, he will have a chance to make 5 strong records. If the hitman’s bat is used in MS Dhoni’s city, then there will be an uproar in the record books. Let’s take a look at them…
Record of most sixes in ODI
Rohit Sharma will have a great opportunity in Ranchi to make the record of hitting most sixes in ODI cricket. Currently, he is the second batsman in the world who has hit the most number of sixes, but is just 3 sixes away from taking the number one position. He has hit a total of 249 sixes so far. At the same time, at number one is Shahid Afridi, who had hit 251 sixes. Now Rohit will become number one as soon as he hits 3 sixes.
Most sixes against South Africa
Apart from this, Rohit Sharma also has a chance to make the record of hitting most sixes in international cricket against South Africa. If he hits 7 sixes with his bat in Ranchi, then he will become number one in terms of hitting most sixes against South Africa.
16 thousand international runs as an opener
Rohit Sharma is only 213 runs away from scoring 16 thousand runs in international cricket as an opening batsman. He may not be successful in doing this in Ranchi, but if he does this in the series, he will become the most successful batsman in world cricket. Till now no one has scored 16,000 runs while opening in all three formats.

Record of scoring 5 thousand runs in India
Rohit Sharma is very close to touching the figure of 5 thousand runs in ODIs in India. If he scores 133 runs in Ranchi, he will become the third Indian batsman to do so. However, this will not be an easy task to do. If Ranchi scores 133 runs with his bat, a new history can be written.
Most centuries as an Indian opener
If Rohit Sharma scores 100 in the next ODI, he will become the batsman with the most centuries as an Indian opener. Even Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar and Shikhar Dhawan have not been able to do this.
