India captain Rohit Sharma provided a fiery start to the Men in Blue against Bangladesh in their ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup match in Antigua on Saturday (June 22). The right-hander smashed 23 runs off 11 balls, hitting one six and three boundaries. Rohit smashed a monstrous six off Shakib Al Hasan in the fourth over of India’s innings.

The massive six came as Shakib bowled a pitched-up delivery and Rohit came down the track before playing it for a 97-metre six at long-on. The 37-year-old timed the shot to perfection as the ball landed on the second tier, leaving everyone in awe.

Watch the shot below:

Rohit Sharma was eventually caught out by Jaker Ali off Shakib in the same over. He shared a 39-run partnership with Virat Kohli for the opening wicket.

Rohit had failed to live up to expectations in his last few innings, scoring 13, 3, and 8 against Pakistan, USA, and Afghanistan, respectively. He, however, scored an unbeaten 52 against Ireland.
