Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma is one the most stylish batsman in World Cricket. He is well-known for his huge six-hitting ability. Rohit Sharma produced a magical moment in the 5th game of IPL 2020  when he hit a six off Sandeep Warrier over backward-point

Sandeep Warrier started the over well with 4 dot balls in the over. However, he balled a juicy short ball wide outside off side and Rohit took the opportunity to free his hands for a maximum. The Upper Cut is well connected by Rohit and the ball sails over backward point.

‘Making Sachin Proud’- Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians were quick to react to Rohit’s opening six of the match. Mumbai Indian’s wrote on Twitter,” Making @sachin_rt proud!”

The incident brings back memories form ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 when Rohit hit a similar shot against Pakistan. The shot was in limelight as it brought comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar.

The little master is quite famous for hitting an exquisite shot like the Uppercut. The most famous one is when Tendulkar hit Shoaib Akhtar for six during the 2003 Cricket World Cup in Centurion.
