In the absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma will take the responsibility of the leadership again. However, Rohit as a great opportunity to create 3 big records and register his name in golden letters.

1. Most runs in T20 International's:

Rohit Sharma has so far scored 2237 runs in 82 T20 innings, with 4 centuries, and 15 half-centuries and he is currently at number three in the case of most runs in T20 International's. New Zealand's Martin Guptill, is the leading run scorer in the International T20s, he has scored 2272. It means that to break the record of Martin Guptill, Rohit has to score at least 37 runs in the T20 series.

2. Most sixes in T20 International's:

Rohit Sharma has so far scored 98 sixes in his T20 career. However, Martin Guptill and Chris Gayle hold the record of most sixes in T20Is, both have scored 103 sixes so far and now Rohit needs 6 more sixes to become real sixer king. The good thing for Rohit is that Martin Guptill is not part of the Kiwi team in the T20 series and the path is clear to overtake his big world records.
