What was even more heartening than @ImRo45‘s record 5th century this World Cup was @imVkohli‘s tension as Rohit neared the three figure mark and his absolute delight when Rohit got there. Proud to support this team, whatever the result!

“No player in the history of the sport has done it (made 5 centuries in one World Cup)”.
— Aalia 🇮🇳 (@ambiverthijabi) July 6, 2019
An Indian batsman did that.💯
I’ve read/heard multiple critics say he’s only a good player on home turf. And yet, Rohit Sharma just created history on foreign soil.
TAKE. A. BOW.#INDvSL
Rohit Sharma is certainly now in the league of "The Greats". 5 centuries in a single edition of WC is simply a jawdropping achievement!!😱😱🙌🏻🙌🏻 pic.twitter.com/QyVAMb2Fb8
