In Pics: On This Day, Rohit Sharma Becomes First Batsman Ever To Score 5 ODI Tons In One World Cup

Rohit Sharma is also the only the third batsman in World Cup history to score 600 plus runs in a single edition of the tournament. 

Rohit is also India's second-highest ton maker at the Cricket World Cup. With five tons, he is only behind Sachin Tendulkar who has six World Cup centuries for India.

Rohit Sharma went past the record held by Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakarra, who scored four successive centuries in the 2015 World Cup.

The Mumbai Indians skipper was also the leading run-scorer in the showpiece event.

On this day, last year, Rohit Sharma scripted history as he became the first-ever batsman to score five centuries in single World Cup edition. His record-breaking feat: 122* vs South Africa, 140 vs Pakistan, 102 vs England, 104 vs Bangladesh, 103 vs Sri Lanka.

Indian cricket team star opener Rohit Sharma was in a staggering form with the bat for his team in the 2019 50-overs World Cup in England.
