Rohit Sharma has been in sublime form in this ODI World Cup 2023
The legendary India captain, with a tally of 550 runs in the current tournament stands as the second India batter to surpass the 500-run mark in two distinct editions of ODI World Cups. Remarkably, he is the inaugural batsman in history to achieve this feat with a strike rate exceeding 120. Rohit Sharma's determination throughout the tournament, coupled with the explosive starts he facilitated for the Indian team during the initial batting powerplays, stands out as a pivotal factor contributing to India's success in the World Cup.
