Rohit Sharma Smashes 10 Hundred In A Year For The First Time In His Career

Mumbai: India opener Rohit Sharma smashed his 28th ODI hundred in the second ODI against West Indies on Wednesday.

The hundred is the 32-year-old batsman’s tenth international hundred across formats this year. This is the first time that Rohit has slammed 10 international hundreds in a year. Rohit has jumped to the joint-fourth position in the list of most ODI hundreds.

On 15 April 2019, Sharma was appointed vice-captain of India’s squad for the 2019 tournament in England. In the opening match against South Africa, he scored 122, including his 12,000th run in international cricket.

In the match against Sri Lanka, he became the first batsman to score five centuries in the same World Cup tournament, and equalled Tendulkar’s record for the most centuries in all World Cup matches.

Sharma who is considered an aggressive batsman but with style and elegance, totalled 648 runs in the tournament to finish as the leading run-scorer and win the ICC’s Golden Bat award, the third Indian player to do so.
