The coronavirus has stopped the world’s daily busy life, and the sports have also been affected due to this issue. Like the other sports, cricket has also stopped in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. However, the cricketers have taken social media to engage with the fans.
Recently, Rohit Sharma involved in a live session with the pacer Jasprit Bumrah. They are not only the teammate in the national team, but they are also playing together for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
During that live session, Bumrah asked Rohit that the youngster Rishabh Pant wanted to challenge Rohit to hit the longest sixer.
In reply, Rohit trolled Pant by quoting, “Mere sath usko karna hai? Sa*a ek saal hua nahi usko cricket khelke, chhakke ka competition kar rha hai (“He wants to compete against me? Sa*a, he has played cricket for hardly a year and wants to have a competition”).”

Rohit Sharma vs Rishabh Pant in sixes
Rohit Sharma is now known as a sixer king. While he is the most six-hitter in T20I history (127 sixes), he is also the third-most six-hitter in international cricket history (423 sixes), and fourth-most six-hitter in ODI history (244 sixes). He is also the most six hitters among the Indians in T20 cricket (361 sixes).
On the other hand, Rishabh Pant is also known for his aggressive batting. The left-handed batsman has already hit 142 sixes in his 97 T20 matches. Serving for Delhi Daredevils (now known as Delhi Capitals), Pant won the Maximum Sixes Award in the IPL 2018 (37 sixes).
It can be an interesting fight between Rohit and Pant in the longest six-hitting competition. However, Rohit has huge experience than the young wicketkeeper-batsman.
