Rohit Sharma had a magnificent time in the Sydney ODI against Australia. He blasted his 22nd century and his seventh against Australia. It was also his fifth in Australia, putting him level with Kumar Sangakkara for most centuries by overseas batsmen. The Mumbai dasher, nicknamed the ‘Hitman’ also displayed his magnificent six-hitting ability, blasting six sixes against the Australian attack and taking his tally to 64 sixes against them, creating a new world record. Rohit broke the record for most sixes against a single opposition, going past Shahid Afridi’s knock of 63 sixes against Sri Lanka. He also hit the most sixes in Australia with 27, going past Afridi again.
Having made the Australian bowlers dance to his aggressive tune, it was Rohit’s turn to attempt a dance move. In a video which was uploaded by the BCCI, Rohit is seen attempting the Floss Dance at a local café before heading to the second ODI which will be played in Adelaide. The floss or flossing is a dance move in which a person repeatedly swings their arms, with clenched fists, from the back of their body to the front, on each side. Rohit put on a good show as he struggled to match moves with a youngster who was an expert.
