New Delhi. The fourth match of the ongoing five-match T20 series between India and West Indies cricket team will be played on August 6 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida. When the Indian team will enter the field in this match, all eyes will be on the 35-year-old veteran captain Rohit Sharma. Sharma had retired hurt due to back pain in the third T20 match. Regarding whether he will participate in the fourth T20 match, he says that there are few days left for the fourth match of the series and hopefully he will be fine.
If ‘Hitman’ Sharma plays in the fourth T20 match, then he will have a golden opportunity to achieve a big achievement. In fact, the record of hitting most sixes in international cricket is recorded in the name of Caribbean explosive batsman Chris Gayle. After this, the name of former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi comes in second place. After this, Indian captain Rohit Sharma is in third place.
