Rohit Sharma is in excellent form and has a golden opportunity to set new records in the upcoming World Cup.

Currently, Rohit Sharma shares the record for the most centuries in World Cup history with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, both having scored six centuries. Rohit’s World Cup journey spans two editions, one in 2015 and another in 2019. A single century in the 2023 World Cup would make him the sole record-holder, unless David Warner, with four World Cup hundreds to his name, surpasses him.

Sachin Tendulkar currently holds the record for the most runs in a single World Cup season. He accumulated 673 runs in the 2003 World Cup, including one century and six fifties. In the previous World Cup, Rohit Sharma was the tournament’s highest run-scorer, amassing 648 runs, including five centuries, in just nine innings. With nine league matches in the 2023 World Cup, Rohit has a chance to eclipse Sachin’s record.

In the 2019 World Cup, Eoin Morgan, leading the England team, struck 22 sixes, the most by any captain in a single season of the World Cup. Given Rohit Sharma’s prowess in hitting sixes and his new role as the captain of the Indian team, he stands a good chance of breaking this record, with Chris Gayle being the only player ahead of him in the list of most sixes in international cricket.

Rohit Sharma, who recently surpassed 10,000 ODI runs, is known for his ability to smash sixes, not only in limited-overs cricket but also in red-ball cricket. Chris Gayle currently holds the record for the most international sixes with 553. Rohit Sharma is hot on his heels with 551 sixes and needs just three more to claim this record.

With India hosting the 2023 World Cup, Rohit Sharma and the team have an excellent opportunity to secure this record. Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni are the only Indian captains to have won the ODI World Cup. If Rohit leads the team to victory, he will join this exclusive club of captains, making it a dream come true for millions of Indian cricket fans.
