  1. Record for Most Centuries in a World Cup:
  • Current Record Holders: Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar
  • Rohit and Sachin jointly hold the record for the most centuries in World Cup history, with six each.
  • Rohit’s journey in World Cups began in 2015, where he scored one century, but it was the 2019 World Cup where he truly shone, amassing five centuries in a single tournament.
  • With just one more century in the upcoming 2023 World Cup, Rohit Sharma can surpass Sachin Tendulkar and claim this record for himself.
  1. Record for Most Runs in a World Cup Season:
  • Current Record Holder: Sachin Tendulkar
  • Sachin holds the record for the highest number of runs in World Cup history, accumulating over 2200 runs.
  • Rohit Sharma emerged as the highest run-scorer in the previous World Cup, scoring 648 runs, including five centuries in just nine innings.
  • With nine league matches scheduled in the ICC World Cup 2023, Rohit has a great chance to surpass Sachin’s record of 673 runs in a single tournament.
  1. Record for Most Sixes as a Captain in a World Cup Season:
  • Current Record Holder: Eoin Morgan
  • Eoin Morgan set the record for the most sixes by any captain in a single season of the World Cup during the 2019 tournament, with 22 sixes.
  • Rohit Sharma, known for his six-hitting prowess, now captains the Indian team and is second in the list of most sixes in World Cups.
  • A few remarkable innings from Rohit could see him dethrone Morgan and claim this record as his own.
  1. Record for the Highest Number of Sixes in International Cricket:
  • Current Record Holder: Chris Gayle
  • Rohit Sharma’s reputation as a six-hitting maestro extends beyond World Cups, with 551 sixes to his name, closely following Chris Gayle’s record of 553.
  • Just a few more sixes will propel Rohit to the coveted position of the cricketer with the most international sixes, a testament to his ability to clear the boundaries in all formats of the game.
  1. Record to Become the 3rd Indian Captain to Win the World Cup:
  • Current Record Holders: Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni
  • Rohit Sharma has the opportunity to achieve a record that Indian cricket fans have eagerly awaited: becoming the third Indian captain to lift the ODI World Cup trophy.
  • With India hosting the ICC World Cup 2023, Rohit, with his talented squad, can break the dry spell and join the elite club of Indian captains who have won the World Cup.
