Rohit Sharma creates Havoc with a century against Afghanistan, also breaks records of hitting most sixes in cricket and scoring most hundred in World Cup .

India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, played a pivotal role in steering his team toward a resounding victory over Afghanistan in the World Cup match held at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Rohit’s remarkable performance in this game marked his 31st century in One Day Internationals (ODIs).

Rohit Sharma’s century came in spectacular fashion, as he reached the coveted three-figure mark off just 63 balls. This outstanding achievement earned him the distinction of holding the record for the fastest century ever by an Indian in the history of the World Cup. This remarkable feat was previously held by Kapil Dev, who achieved his century in 72 balls against Zimbabwe in 1983. In this match, Rohit Sharma outperformed the former all-rounder, accomplishing the milestone in just 63 balls, thereby setting a new standard for Indian cricketers in World Cup history.

Furthermore, Rohit’s incredible century also saw him surpass the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the number of World Cup centuries. Tendulkar, who participated in five World Cups from 1992 to 2011, had scored six centuries during his illustrious career in the tournament, with his last century being a memorable 111 against South Africa in Bengaluru, achieved in his 41st World Cup innings. In contrast, Rohit Sharma reached this remarkable milestone in only his 19th World Cup innings, solidifying his position at the top of the list for the most centuries in World Cup history, with a total of seven centuries to his name.
