3 Rare feats achieved by Rohit Sharma with the masterclass against Sri Lanka

#3 Most Hundreds in a single edition of the World Cup

Rohit Sharma has scored 5 hundreds in the tournament so far

In 2015, Kumar Sangakkara set the tournament ablaze with four consecutive hundreds. At that point, it seemed that this feat could be etched only by a seasoned campaigner like Sanga, and cricketing pundits were sceptical to whether this feat of four hundreds in a single edition would ever be repeated.

Four years down the line, Rohit Sharma has not only emulated the feat of Sangakkara but has gone a step ahead by scoring five hundreds in the tournament till now. Rohit started the tournament on a positive note, with a well-paced hundred against South Africa. He continued his rich vein of form and blew away Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka with his impeccable knocks. He also threatened to take the game away from England, with another hundred against them.

The World's No.2 ranked batsman leads the batting charts with 647 runs in 8 innings. India would hope that their vice-captain makes the most of his purple patch, for furthering the prospects of the two-time champions.
