**Rohit Sharma Remains ‘Boundary King’ in T20Is Despite Retirement**

**NEW DELHI:** Rohit Sharma, fondly known as the ‘Hitman,’ continues to reign supreme as the ‘Boundary King’ in T20 International cricket, even after his retirement from the format. Sharma amassed a staggering 588 boundaries (383 fours and 205 sixes) in his 159 T20I appearances for India, making him the only player in the world to surpass the 500-boundary mark in this format.

Following closely behind is Virat Kohli, another retired veteran of T20Is, who smashed 493 boundaries (369 fours and 124 sixes) during his career.

Current Indian T20 captain, Suryakumar Yadav, holds the third spot with 383 boundaries (237 fours and 146 sixes). Yadav is expected to lead India in the upcoming T20 Asia Cup 2025, scheduled to begin on September 9th in the UAE.

KL Rahul sits in fourth place with 289 boundaries (191 fours and 99 sixes). Rahul, who hasn’t been a part of the Indian T20 setup for a while, last played a T20I for India in November 2022.

Rounding out the top five is former opener Shikhar Dhawan with 241 boundaries (191 fours and 50 sixes) before his retirement from all forms of cricket last year.

While some of these players have moved on from T20Is, their legacy of boundary-hitting continues to inspire. The T20 Asia Cup will be a good testing ground for new players to leave their mark.
