Indian team captain Rohit Sharma is known as Hitman in the cricket world. The reason for this is Rohit's ability to play big and explosive innings.

Now Rohit has taken another record in his name. In the final of the Champions Trophy against New Zealand, Rohit broke another record of Chris Gayle by playing some big shots.

Rohit broke Chris Gayle's record

Team India got a target of 252 runs from New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy on Sunday in Dubai.
