Rohit Sharma wants to add one new rule in cricket 

Journalist Vimal Kumar asked the Indian cricket team captain about “one rule you would like to add to make cricket more interesting” in a video posted on his official YouTube channel.  When asked what rule he would want to see implemented to increase cricket's excitement, Rohit Sharma came up with a rather creative one. He proposed giving eight runs to a batsman for a six that reaches a distance greater than ninety metres. Furthermore, he suggested that a six that went over the remarkable 100 metres be awarded ten runs. There's no doubt that this idea might make the game much more exciting. He said:

 if the batter hits a 90M six, it should be 8 runs. If it's a 100M six, it should be 10 runs. People like Chris Gayle smashed 100M sixes for fun and got only 6, bit unfair.

How many sixes has Rohit Sharma hit in his career so far? 

Chris Gayle, a ferocious and hard-hitting batsman for the West Indies, leads all international cricket players with an incredible total of 553 sixes. India's skipper, Rohit Sharma, follows closely behind and claims second place with a staggering total of 551 sixes. These two legends of the sport have written their names in cricket lore with their consistent ability to smash the ball over the fence. However, Rohit Sharma could take an edge in the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup by scoring 3 more sixes to break the record of the West Indies legend. He will now be seen in action against Australia on October 8, 2023.
