According to Akash Chopra, in the upcoming India's tour of England, Rohit Sharma can most likely score 2-3 centuries.  India has come on the England tour with four specialist openers, which, apart from Rohit, includes Shubman Gill, Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul. Photo Courtesy: AFP

Talking on his YouTube channel, Akash said, 'I think Rohit will do well in England.  He has quality and the Indian team will repose full faith in him.  He scored five centuries in the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England. If a batsman scores five hundreds in an ODI tournament and has to play six Test matches now, we can expect him to score 2-3 hundreds in 12 innings." Photo Courtesy: AFP

When Rohit Sharma created history by scoring 5 centuries in a single World Cup edition: During the 2019 World Cup, India's vice-captain Rohit Sharma scripted history by scoring five centuries in limited overs format.  This is the world record for most centuries by a batsman in a single World Cup. The star opener also scored the highest 648 runs in this tournament. Photo Courtesy: AFP

Rohit Sharma's 648 runs in the 2019 ODI World Cup are the 5th most runs scored by any player in an ODI series or tournament and the 3rd highest in a single edition of the World Cup.  India was, of course, knocked out by New Zealand in the semi-finals, but Rohit won everyone's heart with his heroic batting display in the entire tournament.
