Records that 'The Hitman' can break during World Cup 2023

Rohit has racked up 978 runs in the ODI World Cup. He requires 229 more runs to make his way into the top five leading run-getters in the history of the event.

Rohit has an ODI World Cup strike rate of 95.97 and can break into the list of the top five batters with the highest strike rates (minimum 500 balls faced) in the tournament's history.

Rohit equalled Sachin's record of scoring the most centuries (6) in the World Cup during the 2019 edition. One more three-figure mark will take him to the top of the tree.

Rohit has amassed nine fifty-plus scores in the ODI World Cup. He needs three more to equal Kumar Sangakkara who occupies the 2nd spot behind Sachin (21).

Chris Gayle has hit the most sixes (49) in ODI World Cup history. Rohit has already hit 23 and requires 27 maximums to overtake Gayle.

Rohit enjoyed a dream run in the 2019 edition and came close to breaking Sachin's record of scoring the most runs (673) in a single edition. 2023 might just turn out to be the year for 'The Hitman'.

Not a single India captain has managed to lay his hands on an ICC trophy since 2013. However, India's intimidating form infuses optimism and Rohit might as well succeed in breaking the hoodoo.

Rohit Sharma can become the second-most successful opening batter in the ODI World Cup history behind Sachin Tendulkar (1767 runs). Rohit has hit 978 runs as an opener and requires just 208 runs to dethrone Chris Gayle (1186 runs) from the second spot.
