World Cup 2019: 3 records Rohit Sharma can break in this tournament

#2 Highest score in the World Cup

Martin Guptill

The talented Indian opener is known for his ability to construct long innings. A class player who relies on pure cricketing shots, Rohit has the knack of converting his starts into big scores in the white ball format.

The only player with three double centuries in ODI cricket, Rohit also has the record of the highest individual score in an ODI innings; the 264 he registered against Sri Lanka is the highest of all time.

The record for the highest World Cup score lies with Martin Guptill, who slammed 237 against West Indies in the 2015 edition.

The kind of form he’s shown in the first few games, it is a possibility that Rohit might go past Guptill’s 237 in this tournament. He has already had a taste of success with a remarkable 140 against Pakistan, but unfortunately failed to cross 200-run mark which was there for the taking.

However, with four league games still to go, his purple patch is a menacing sign for the opposition teams. The men in blue will once again expect the Hitman to go out all guns blazing and put together as tall a score as possible.
