India‘s cricket captain Rohit Sharma has etched his name in the record books by becoming the first outfield player globally to achieve the milestone of securing 60 or more catches in each of the three main cricket formats – Tests, ODIs, and T20s.
Rohit’s exceptional feat unfolded during the gripping first day of the fifth and final Test match between India and England at the scenic HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.
The record-breaking achievement now sees Rohit Sharma boasting 60 catches in Tests, 93 catches in ODIs, and 60 catches in T20 internationals, solidifying his reputation as a brilliant fielder across all formats.
