Steve Smith & Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle & Rohit Sharma - Check out the recent connections!

Post the World Cup, the cricketers are back on the field for their respective schedules. India will play its first T20 against West Indies tomorrow (August 3) at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida. As we reported earlier Chris Gayle has been brought back to play in the series. However, he will not play tomorrow’s game as the Windies team management has decided to give him rest.

On the other side, Australia's Steve Smith who is playing the 'Ashes' has achieved a new feat by scoring his 24th century in his 118th Test innings. Therefore, he has moved up in the charts beating India’s Virat Kohli who has scored 24 centuries in 123 innings. Eventually, Steve Smith is the second-fastest batsman to score 24 centuries in Test Cricket while the legendary Don Bradman tops the list by scoring the same number of centuries in just 66 innings.

Moving forward to India’s Vice-Captain Rohit Sharma who will be playing in tomorrow’s 1st T20 against West Indies brings Chris Gayle into our attention. Chris Gayle and Rohit Sharma have been proving themselves consistently in T20 Games. While Chris Gayle has 105 T20 sixes in his kitty, Rohit Sharma has smashed a total of 102 sixes. Therefore, Rohit Sharma is just 4 sixes away to become the first batsman to hit the most number of sixes in T20 history. New Zealand's Martin Guptill grabs the second position with 103 sixes.
