    This puts Rohit Sharma in the esteemed company of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Virat Kohli, making him the fourth Indian cricketer to enter the 1000-run club in the World Cup.

    A Remarkable World Cup Journey

    Rohit Sharma embarked on his World Cup journey during the 2015 edition, where he showcased his cricketing prowess by amassing 330 runs. His defining moment came in the quarterfinal against Bangladesh when he struck a memorable century. The Mumbaikar has been a consistent performer, but his exceptional form in the 2019 edition left an indelible mark on World Cup history. During this edition, he amassed five centuries, breaking the record for the most hundreds in a single edition and finishing as the highest run-scorer with 648 runs.

His ability to rise to the occasion and consistently deliver centuries in high-stakes encounters makes him a cricketing icon to be admired.

    Fastest World Cup Hundred by an Indian

    In this match against Afghanistan, Rohit Sharma demonstrated his exceptional batting prowess by recording the fastest World Cup century by an Indian in just 63 balls. This record-breaking feat surpassed Virender Sehwag’s 81-ball century against Bermuda in the 2007 World Cup. Rohit Sharma’s stunning display of batting prowess solidified his position as one of the all-time greats of the game.
