Within the IPL 2026 match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on 4 April 2026 on the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Rohit Sharma provided a gentle start for Mumbai, scoring a fluent 35 runs off 26 balls. His innings included five boundaries and one six, helping to stabilize the MI innings after early wickets before he was eventually dismissed by Axar Patel.
Then again, Prithvi Shaw didn’t feature within the playing XI for this match, as Delhi Capitals opted for a gap pair of KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka. Despite Shaw’s absence on the sector, the match was dominated by DC’s young sensation Sameer Rizvi, who played a match-winning unbeaten knock of 90 runs to secure a 6-wicket victory for the house side.
Rohit Sharma surpasses MS Dhoni’s iconic record in MI vs DC clash
During Mumbai Indians’ clash against Delhi Capitals on the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, Rohit Sharma entered the record books by surpassing legendary skipper MS Dhoni. Although he scored a modest 35, one big six was enough for him to turn out to be the Indian batter with probably the most sixes against a single IPL team.
Before the April 4 clash, Dhoni held the record with 50 sixes against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Rohit, who had equalled that tally against Delhi going into the match, smashed an enormous six off Vipraj Nigam within the early overs. With that hit, Rohit moved to 51 sixes against the Capitals, going past Dhoni’s mark.
Nonetheless, he still stays behind the general record held by Chris Gayle, who has hammered 61 sixes against Punjab Kings.
Most Sixes Against a Single IPL Team (Indian Batters)
1. Rohit Sharma: 51 vs Delhi Capitals
2. MS Dhoni: 50 vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru
3. Virat Kohli: 48 vs Chennai Super Kings
