ICC पुरुषों के T20 विश्व कप 2024 में एक यादगार घटना के दौरान, भारतीय कप्तान रोहित शर्मा ने अपने अद्वितीय बल्लेबाजी कौशल का प्रदर्शन किया। ऑस्ट्रेलिया के तेज गेंदबाज मिचेल स्टार्क के खिलाफ खेले गए इस मुकाबले में शर्मा ने सिर्फ एक ओवर में 29 रन बनाकर सभी को हतप्रभ कर दिया। यह उपलब्धि न केवल रोहित की व्यक्तिगत उत्कृष्टता को दर्शाती है बल्कि भारतीय क्रिकेट के लिए भी एक गौरवशाली क्षण साबित हुई।
इस मैच का आयोजन प्रतिष्ठित मेलबर्न क्रिकेट ग्राउंड में हुआ, जहां दोनों टीमें अपनी पूरी ताकत के साथ मैदान पर उतरी थीं। ऑस्ट्रेलिया के कप्तान ने टॉस जीतकर पहले गेंदबाजी का निर्णय लिया, जो उनके विचार में भारतीय टीम पर दबाव बनाने का सही तरीका था। लेकिन रोहित शर्मा की आक्रामक बल्लेबाजी ने उनके इस निर्णय को गलत साबित कर दिया। पहले ही ओवर से शर्मा ने अपने इरादे स्पष्ट कर दिए थे, जब उन्होंने स्टार्क के खिलाफ एक चौका और एक छक्का जड़ा।
स्टार्क के ओवर की शुरुआत ही आक्रामक अंदाज में हुई थी। पहला गेंद, जो एक यॉर्कर थी, जिसे रोहित ने बड़ी कुशलता से सीमा पार भेज दिया। इसके बाद आई एक शॉर्ट पिच गेंद, जिस पर रोहित ने अपने हुक शॉट का बेहतरीन नमूना पेश किया और गेंद को स्टैंड्स में भेज दिया। तीसरी गेंद पर भी कुछ ऐसा ही नजारा देखने को मिला जब एक और शॉर्ट बॉल को रोहित ने पुल शॉट खेलकर बाउंड्री पार भेजा।
पूरे ओवर में रोहित ने चार चौके और तीन छक्के लगाकर कुल 29 रन बटोरे। यह प्रदर्शन न केवल भारतीय प्रशंसकों के लिए खुशी का कारण बना बल्कि क्रिकेट विशेषज्ञों ने भी उनके इस प्रदर्शन की जमकर प्रशंसा की। मशहूर क्रिकेट विश्लेषक हर्षा भोगले ने ट्वीट करते हुए लिखा, 'रोहित शर्मा का यह प्रदर्शन T20 क्रिकेट का सर्वोत्तम उदाहरण है। इस प्रकार की आक्रामकता दर्शाती है कि वे किसी भी गेंदबाज को अपने खेल से हतोत्साहित कर सकते हैं।'
यहां यह बात ध्यान देने वाली है कि रोहित शर्मा का यह शानदार प्रदर्शन उनके लगातार अच्छे फॉर्म का नतीजा है। पिछले कुछ महीनों में उन्होंने विभिन्न टूर्नामेंटों में लगातार अच्छे रन बनाए हैं, जिससे उनके बल्लेबाजी कौशल और मानसिकता की तारीफ हो रही है। उनके इसी आत्मविश्वास और तकनीकी कौशल ने उन्हें दुनिया के सर्वश्रेष्ठ बल्लेबाजों में से एक बना दिया है। इस ओवर में उनकी आक्रामक बल्लेबाजी ने मैच का रुख ही बदल दिया और भारतीय टीम को एक मजबूत स्थिति में ला खड़ा किया।
भारतीय क्रिकेट टीम के कोच राहुल द्रविड़ ने भी रोहित शर्मा की इस पारी की सराहना की। उन्होंने कहा, 'रोहित ने आज जो खेल दिखाया वह अविस्मरणीय है। हमने खेल शुरू होने से पहले ही यह तय किया था कि हमें स्टार्क जैसे गेंदबाजों के खिलाफ आक्रामक रुख अपनाना होगा, और रोहित ने इस उद्देश्य को बखूबी निभाया।'
इस मैच में रोहित की इस पारी ने यह साबित कर दिया कि वे बड़े मैचों के खिलाडी हैं और अपनी टीम को कठिन परिस्थितियों से बाहर निकाल सकते हैं। उनकी बल्लेबाजी न केवल उनकी तकनीकी निपुणता को दर्शाती है, बल्कि उनकी मानसिक मजबूती और दृढ़ संकल्प को भी उजागर करती है। भारतीय टीम के लिए यह एक जीत का मंत्र बन चुका है कि जब रोहित अच्छा खेलते हैं, टीम भी अच्छा प्रदर्शन करती है।
रोहित शर्मा की इस जोरदार पारी ने क्रिकेट प्रेमियों की यादों में एक स्थायी छाप छोड़ दी है। यह उनके व्यक्तिगत करियर के लिए भी एक महत्वपूर्ण मील का पत्थर साबित हुआ, और साथ ही साथ यह पारी भारतीय क्रिकेट के इतिहास के पन्नों में सुनहरे अक्षरों में लिखी जाएगी। यह देखना दिलचस्प होगा कि रोहित आने वाले मैचों में इस लय को कैसे बरकरार रखते हैं और भारतीय टीम को कितनी ऊंचाइयों तक ले जाते हैं।
इस प्रकार, रोहित शर्मा ने मिचेल स्टार्क के एक ओवर में अपने आक्रामक प्रदर्शन के माध्यम से T20 विश्व कप 2024 में एक अति महत्वपूर्ण और यादगार क्षण जोड़ दिया। यह पारी न केवल उनके उत्कृष्ट बल्लेबाजी कौशल को दर्शाती है, बल्कि भारतीय टीम के लिए भी एक प्रेरणा स्रोत बन गई है।

29 runs in one over? Bas itna hi kafi hai.

stark ko kya pata tha yeh banda ek machine hai... yeh toh sirf cricket nahi, NASA ka secret weapon hai!!

29 runs? Seriously? That's not cricket, that's a mathematical anomaly wrapped in a bat... Someone must've hacked the match algorithm. Or maybe Rohit just discovered the fifth dimension of batting. Either way, I'm calling the ICC. This isn't sport, it's sci-fi.
And don't give me that 'form' nonsense. Form doesn't make you hit three sixes off yorkers. That's physics-defying. That's like a cat suddenly becoming a quantum particle.
Stark didn't bowl, he offered himself as a sacrifice. The ball was just a prop in Rohit's one-man Broadway show. The crowd? Audience. The umpire? Stage manager. The scoreboard? A prop that couldn't keep up.
And now everyone's acting like this was normal. Like we didn't just witness the birth of a new species. The human bat. Homo cricetensis.
What's next? 50 runs off a single ball? A reverse sweep that bends time? A six that breaks the sound barrier and comes back to high-five the bowler?
They say cricket is a gentleman's game. But this? This is a god showing up to play with mortals and then laughing as they pick up the pieces.
And don't tell me about 'technique' or 'timing'. Technique doesn't turn a yorker into a sky-high six. That's just pure, unadulterated audacity. With style.
I'm not even mad. I'm just... confused. Like I woke up in a parallel universe where gravity is optional and bats are enchanted.
And now everyone's comparing him to Tendulkar and Kohli. Bro. Tendulkar didn't turn an over into a fireworks display. Kohli didn't make a fast bowler look like a guy throwing tennis balls at a brick wall.
This wasn't batting. This was a declaration of war on physics. And Rohit won.
Stark probably still hasn't recovered. He's probably sitting in a hotel room, whispering to his pillow, 'Why me? Why now? Why this one over?'
And the worst part? He'll have to face him again next series. Poor guy.
Someone needs to make a documentary. 'The One Over That Broke Cricket.' Narrated by Morgan Freeman. With slow-mo replays of the ball disappearing into the stratosphere.
I'm not sure if I'm watching cricket or a Marvel movie.

Imagine the sound of 90,000 hearts beating as one - a thunderous roar echoing across Melbourne, where a man with a bat became a lightning bolt in human form. Rohit didn't just hit boundaries, he shattered ceilings. Each six wasn't just a shot - it was a symphony of courage, each four a brushstroke on the canvas of legend. This wasn't just cricket, it was poetry written in sweat, steel, and sheer will. The crowd didn't cheer - they worshipped.
Stark bowled with heart, but Rohit played with soul. And when the final ball flew into the stands, the very air changed - as if the universe itself paused to bow. This is why we love this game. Not for stats, not for trophies, but for moments like this - where ordinary men become immortal.
Every child watching today, from Mumbai slums to Delhi rooftops, now believes: if Rohit can do this, so can I. That’s the magic. That’s the legacy.
Not just a player - a phenomenon. A storm in cleats. A poet with a willow. And yes, India’s heartbeat, beating louder than ever.

This is unacceptable. Cricket is a game of discipline, not reckless aggression. Such behavior encourages poor sportsmanship and undermines the spirit of the game. The ICC should investigate whether this was a violation of the code of conduct.

rohit = legend 💪🔥🇮🇳

29 runs in an over is statistically improbable but it happened. The sequence of shots suggests perfect timing and anticipation. The yorker was pulled over square leg, the short balls were hooked with precision, and the full ones were driven through the off side. No player can do this consistently, but in this instance, everything aligned - pitch, conditions, bowler’s rhythm, and the batsman’s focus. This is peak performance under pressure. It’s not luck. It’s mastery.
Nihal Dutt
rohit is a fraud... they fixed the match... the ball was lighter... and stark was drugged... why is no one talking about this? i saw the footage... the shadow behind the stumps... it was a drone... they were controlling the ball with magnets... and the crowd? they were all paid actors... i know this because my cousin works at the stadium and he told me... and also the umpire winked... it was all planned... someone should expose this...

What’s interesting isn’t just the 29 runs - it’s the context. Stark is one of the most feared death-over bowlers in T20 history. He’s known for his yorkers and slower balls. To dismantle him like that, in Melbourne, under pressure, against a full house - it’s not just skill. It’s psychological dominance. Rohit didn’t just bat. He broke the bowler’s confidence in real time. That’s rarer than the runs themselves. Most batsmen fear Stark. Rohit turned fear into fuel. That’s leadership.
And yet, we’re treating it like a highlight reel. But this was a turning point. It shifted momentum. It silenced a stadium that came to cheer for Australia. It gave India belief. That’s the real value. Not the numbers. The narrative.
People forget - cricket is a war of minds. And Rohit won that war in 6 balls.
Pratyush Kumar
Man, I was just scrolling through my phone during that over, and I looked up and saw the scoreboard and thought - wait, did I miss something? 29 runs? In one over? No way. Then I watched the replay. And I just sat there. Didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. Just stared. I didn’t cheer. I didn’t clap. I just whispered - ‘damn.’
That’s the thing about Rohit. He doesn’t need to celebrate. He doesn’t need to scream. He just... does it. And the world stops. Even the bowler just stands there like he’s been ghosted.
And honestly? I think he’s just bored. Like he’s playing a video game on easy mode and someone handed him a new controller.
Also, why is everyone acting like this is the first time someone did this? We’ve seen it before - Gayle, Simmons, even Kohli once. But this? This felt different. Like it had weight. Like history was being written right then.
And the best part? He didn’t even look happy. Just... focused. Like he was doing his taxes.
Respect.
Deeksha Shetty
29 runs? That’s nothing. You think that’s impressive? I’ve seen a 15-year-old do 32 in an over in a local tournament in Pune. No one cares because it’s not on TV. The media hyped this because it’s Rohit. If it was a lesser player, they’d call it luck. But because it’s him? It’s genius. Double standards. Always.
Also, Stark is overrated. He’s a one-trick pony. Yorkers don’t work against someone who reads pace like a book. He got what he deserved. Stop glorifying the bowler. The real story is how the system ignores talent unless it’s from the right name.

rohit = god mode unlocked 🤯🪄
stark: i just wanted to bowl a yorker
rohit: here’s your yorker... in the 3rd row
australia: we came for a match... we got a miracle
india: we came for a win... we got a legend
me: i’m just here for the memes
also... someone send this to nasa. maybe they can use this energy for the mars mission 🚀
Ratna El Faza
it was amazing to watch. i cried. my uncle, who never watches cricket, came to the living room and just sat there. he said, 'beta, yeh kya ho raha hai?' i didn't know what to say. just smiled. that's the power of cricket.
Keshav Kothari
29 runs? Yeah. Whatever. He’s just a rich guy who got lucky. I bet he has a coach who tells him exactly where to hit. The rest of us can’t afford that. This isn’t skill. It’s privilege. And now everyone acts like he’s the second coming. Get over it.
Keshav Kothari
And you call him a legend? He’s just a guy who got lucky once. What about the 50% of matches where he flops? Nobody talks about that. Selective memory. Fake hero worship.
