On the other hand, the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma made a mockery of Aganistan’s bowling in the ongoing ICC ODI Cricket World Cup on Wednesday.
Rohit Sharma scripted history on the same day by becoming the first Indian cricketer to score seven centuries in World Cup matches. The Indian opener smashed a blazing hundred to register several records to his name. His brilliant hundred came in just 63 deliveries. This remarkable achievement surpassed the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record of six centuries, a feat he accomplished over multiple World Cup editions, including 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2011.
Milestones in plenty for Captain Rohit Sharma 🫡
