Afridi Congratulates Rohit Sharma on Breaking ODI Sixes Record
Shahid Afridi, a famous cricket player from Pakistan, is happy that Rohit Sharma, an Indian cricket player, broke his record for hitting the most sixes in one-day international (ODI) cricket.
Afridi had 351 sixes, but Rohit now has 355.
Afridi said he knew Rohit would become a great player when he saw him practice a long time ago.
Afridi also said that records are meant to be broken, and he is glad it was someone he likes who did it.
Afridi himself was known for hitting the ball very hard and fast, and he once made a century (100 runs) in just 37 balls, which was a record for a long time.
Rohit Sharma broke Shahid Afridi's record for most ODI sixes.
Afridi had 351 sixes in 398 ODIs, while Rohit has 355 sixes in 279 ODIs.
Afridi is happy that Rohit, whom he identified as a future star, broke his record.
Afridi predicted Rohit's success after watching him practice during IPL.
Afridi's fastest century (100 runs in 37 balls) stood for nearly 18 years.
