In the ongoing World Cup at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Virat displayed his grace, remaining undefeated with a score of 55* against Afghanistan on Wednesday.
While Tendulkar recorded six centuries in as many editions of World Cups that he played -- 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011, Rohit achieved the feat in only three: 2015, 2019 and 2023
Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis who made Pakistan bowlers toil hard with his knock of 122 was taken to hospital after suffering cramps in the ongoing World Cup.
Notably, India did wear an alternate kit during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Since both England and India were wearing Blue colours in the tournament, Team India switched to a darker shade of blue with orange sleeves during their match with England.
In 19 World Cup matches since his tournament debut in 2015, he has scored 1,033 runs at an average of 60.76 and a strike rate of over 97. He has four centuries and three fifties, with the best score of 178. He is the 17th highest-scorer in WC of all time.
The pair of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan tied Afghanistan in knots to set up victory. The pair had combined figures of 6/55 in 17 overs, removing four of the Afghanistan top five and playing a huge part in restricting the first innings total to 156 all out.
Raina cited the WC opener between defending champions England and New Zealand at Ahmedabad as an example, where Kiwis chased down 283 set by England with nine wickets in hand.
Rohit has won two ICC events – 2007 T20 World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy but everyone knows that in cricket, the real deal is the 50-over World Cup.
