Opener Rohit Sharma smashed a record-breaking century against Sri Lanka on Saturday, 6 July, sending the internet into a tizzy.

The cricketer breached the three digit mark in 92 balls, becoming the first cricketer ever to score five centuries in a single edition of the World Cup.

He scored 103 off 94 balls in what was a classy knock against one of his favorite opponents. Before this game, Rohit was on 544 runs and now he has overtaken Shakib’s tally of 606 to now be the leading run scorer in the World Cup with 647 from 8 innings.
