Rohit's records: Most hundreds in the world; most runs and sixes by an Indian
Rohit Sharma records: Rohit Sharma's 4th hundred took him to the top of the most centuries list. He also surpassed regular captain Virat Kohli to become India's highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals during the second game against the West Indies.
Rohit Sharma once again broke records for fun as his 4th T20I hundred – the most in the world – powered India to a sizable 195 for 2 batting first at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
Rohit also surpassed regular captain Virat Kohli to become India's highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals during the second game against the West Indies.
Rohit needed just 11 runs to surpass Kohli's record before the start of the match and the Mumbaikar achieved the feat in style, clobbering a 149kph delivery off pacer Oshane Thomas over the mid-off boundary in the fifth over.
