Rohit Sharma Upstages Ricky Ponting In Elite List; Joins Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli In All India Top 3

Rohit Sharma created history in the 2023 World Cup with a record-breaking century against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday (October 11). Rohit reached his century in just 62 balls to put India in cruise control in their tricky chase of 272.



By virtue of his knock, Rohit broke the record for the most centuries in World Cup history. This was Rohit's 7th century in ODI World Cup history, which means he broke Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing record. Rohit has achieved the milestone despite only playing in his third World Cup, while Sachin played in six.

Rohit achieved another massive feat by making the fastest century by an Indian in the competition's history. Rohit broke the record of Kapil Dev set 40 years ago in the 1983 World Cup when he made the famous knock of 175 against Zimbabwe at Tunbrige Well.This ton was Rohit's 31st in the history of the ODI World Cup. This means that Rohit is now third on the list of players with the most centuries in the history of ODI cricket, and the top three are completely Indian. Rohit upstaged Ricky Ponting (30) on the list and is behind Sachin Tendulkar (49) and Virat Kohli (47).
