NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma<\/a> added another milestone to his name during Mumbai Indians<\/a>\u2019 IPL<\/a> 2026 clash against Delhi Capitals on Saturday, even though his innings was a modest 35 runs. The experienced opener hit five fours and a six before getting out, but that one six was enough to put him in the record books.With that shot, Rohit became the Indian player with the most sixes against a single team in IPL history. He now has 51 sixes against Delhi Capitals, going past MS Dhoni\u2019s previous record of 50 sixes against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.<\/p>\n

This achievement highlights Rohit\u2019s consistency and dominance over the years, especially against Delhi. While he didn\u2019t play a big innings in the match, the milestone stood out as a significant personal achievement.Globally, the record still belongs to Chris Gayle, who has smashed the most sixes against a single team in IPL history. Among Indian batters, Rohit now leads the list, followed by Dhoni and Virat Kohli.Rohit also came close to another big milestone, 6000 runs for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, but he fell just short of eleven runs. Despite that, his record-breaking six added another feather to his already impressive career.Even on a day without a big score, Rohit managed to make headlines, proving once again why he remains one of the most impactful players in IPL history.In the match, Sameer Rizvi smashed a brilliant 90 off 51 balls to guide Delhi Capitals to a comfortable six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians. Mumbai posted a modest 162\/6, with Rohit Sharma (35), Suryakumar Yadav, and Naman Dhir (28) being the main contributors, while Mukesh Kumar (2\/26) struck early blows.Chasing 163, Delhi lost KL Rahul and Nitish Rana cheaply, but Pathum Nissanka\u2019s quick 44 steadied the innings. Rizvi then took control, hitting seven sixes and seven fours, as Delhi chased down the target in just 18.1 overs.<\/div>\n\n
