India National Cricket Team captain and batting great, Rohit Sharma, smashed an absolutely stupendous century in the 9th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Wednesday, October 11, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
Rohit Sharma showcased a batting masterclass in the match and absolutely annihilated the Afghanistan National Cricket Team bowling unit. The Afghan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi was left frustrated seeing Rohit Sharma take the bowlers to the cleaners.
No Afghan bowler was able to trouble the India batting great and he smoked the bowlers all over the park. Rohit Sharma completed his half-century off just 30 balls as he hit 7 fours and 2 sixes.
He smashed the Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq for a huge 85-m six over deep square leg on the fifth ball of the 8th over to go past Chris Gayle’s record and become the leading six-hitter in international cricket
Rohit Sharma was in no mood to stop and he kept going strong to complete his century off 63 balls, with 12 fours and 4 sixes. As Rohit Sharma completed his ton, he created history as he became the fastest Indian batter in the World Cups to hit a century, breaking the record of legendary Kapil Dev.
Rohit Sharma now has 7 centuries in the 50-over World Cups, which is the most by any player in the history of cricket. Also, he has become the fastest Indian and overall joint-fastest batter to score 1000 runs in the history of World Cups.
Most centuries in ODI WC:
Rohit Sharma (IND) – 7
Sachin Tendulkar (IND) – 6
Ricky Ponting (AUS) – 5
Kumar Sangakkara (SL) – 5
Most sixes in international cricket:
555* – Rohit Sharma
553 – Chris Gayle
476 – Shahid Afridi
398 – Brendon McCullum
383 – Martin Guptill
Here’s How X Reacted To Rohit Sharma’s Magnificent Ton:

My man, scored many centuries in the recent years, but never removed his helmet.
We all were wondering why he was doing this, today we came to know. Hitman was waiting for the World Cup.
