Rohit Sharma has been on song at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019. The classic stroke-maker has made life difficult for the bowlers by finding the gaps, before going downtown to score runs at the brisk pace. In the same way, against Bangladesh, Rohit produced a scintillating knock by slamming his fourth hundred at the ongoing ICC World Cup.

Moreover, the experienced 32-year-old campaigner Rohit gave a resounding start to India alongside KL Rahul.

Also, the duo racked up 180 on board in 29.2 overs to lay a strong foundation for the Men in Blue against the Tigers.

Furthermore, the right-handed batsman Rohit during his knock had played some delightful strokes to please one and all.  He slammed overall his 26th ODI hundred while playing his 213th ODI.

Before holing out at the cover region on the bowling of Soumya Sarkar, Rohit, who miscued a shot while facing a length delivery outside off, post 104 runs on the board off just 92 deliveries. While scoring at the strike-rate of 113.04, Rohit’s brilliant knock included as many as seven fours and five massive sixes.

However, he got a reprieve at nine when Tamim Iqbal dropped a dolly at the square leg. Thus, making most of the opportunity, Rohit stood on the top.

While playing his eighth game, Rohit also surpassed the tally off David Warner‘s 516 to lead the run charts at the ongoing World Cup. Rohit, whose average is 90.67, has garnered 544 runs in seven innings.

Interestingly, unstoppable Rohit has become the second cricketer to notch four tons in a single edition. Earlier, batting genius achieved the record of four centuries in the World Cup edition in 2015.

Besides, with Rohit in imperious form, he becomes first Indian to achieve the milestone of four hundreds. He has now five tons to his name at the World Cup. Also, in 2015, Rohit slammed only hundred.

Now, playing his second World Cup, Rohit has been a feast for the eyes while making good use of his wrist by piercing gaps.

So far, apart from the Tigers, Rohit has notched up his tons against South Africa, Pakistan and the World No. 2 ODI team.
