Around 20,000 spectators inside the stadium on Christmas Eve were treated to the Hitman’s special, laced with 18 fours and nine sixes while chasing a modest target of 237 in just 30.3 overs.
Sikkim’s bowlers, including Palzor Tamang, Kranthi Kumar, Gurinder Singh and Ankur Malik, struggled to find answers, failing to stop the legendary batter. Rohit’s innings featured a signature pull over mid-wicket off Kranthi, followed by a powerful shot off the hips, setting the stage for a dominating display.
Sikkim’s fast bowlers couldn’t contain Rohit Sharma, with seamer Palzor going for two sixes behind square off his 125 kmph deliveries. Rohit also cleverly used the spinners’ pace to guide the ball with late cuts. Even after being dropped twice, he maintained his composure and skillfully found gaps. His crisp straight drives left the Sikkim attack completely stunned.
