Rohit Sharma had hit 16 sixes during his 209-run knock vs Australia in 2013. He got out on 149 off 44 deliveries, one run away from shattering the record for fastest 150 - currently held by Australian Shane Watson who reached the mark in 83 balls against Bangladesh - as he guided the hosts to their highest ODI total - 439 for two.
