Earlier in the tournament, Rohit reached two more milestones to join a unique list, first he reached the IPL 5000 runs club and he also crossed 200 sixes in the IPL. He joined the likes of Raina and Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli in the 5000 club, while he joined the likes of Chris Gayle, MS Dhoni and RCB's AB de Villiers in the 200 sixes club.

The most runs scored list is led by Kohli followed by Raina, while the sixes list is led by Gayle with 326 sixes.

He also had the opportunity to overtake Raina in one more list, but he failed to do so on Tuesday (October 6). Rohit needs one more fifty to go past Raina for second most fifties in IPL.
