Rohit Sharma and records have a great relationship. The current Indian skipper has the habit of toppling records very often. A few of them that he has set is hard to beat in the future. There are a few more difficult-to-beat records that he will set by the time he retires. On that note, here, we take a look at two world records of India’s Rohit Sharma which might never be broken in the game.
1) Most centuries by a player in a single World Cup – 5 in the 2019 ODI World Cup
It is difficult to remain consistent in this era of cricket in which the schedule is extremely hectic. However, Rohit Sharma pulled off a terrific feat in the 2019 ODI World Cup when he scored five centuries in the tournament.
Yes, a player can be in good form in an ICC event but scoring five centuries is startling. Rohit Sharma made run-scoring look easy in that competition. It helped India reach the semis but in the crucial game, India lost and had to exit the tournament.
2) Most fours in a single ODI inning – 33 against Sri Lanka in 2014
Scoring the most boundaries in a single ODI knock is one of the world records of India’s Rohit Sharma which might never be broken in the game. Rohit Sharma’s 264 is the highest individual score in an ODI game. While that could be toppled by some of the younger intent-machines, Rohit’s feat of scoring 33 fours in that innings could be hard to beat.
These days, when a player starts to find his feet, he would go for big hits. It needs extreme skill to snatch boundaries at regular intervals and Rohit Sharma is a master at that. Scoring the bulk of your double century in fours can be a tough ask. Hence, Rohit’s record could hold firm for a very long time.
