Rohit Sharma notched up his fifth century in ICC World Cup 2019 against Sri Lanka, breaking Kumar Sangakkara's record for most number of centuries in a single World Cup in the process.
Sangakkara, the former Sri Lanka skipper had notched up four consecutive centuries in 2015 World Cup. To add to Sri Lanka's woes, KL Rahul hit his maiden World Cup century as India dominated the run chase.
On Saturday, Rohit Sharma continued his brilliant run with the bat, smashing his third consecutive century in World Cup 2019, to take his total tally to five in this tournament.
Rohit Sharma's well-composed knock against Sri Lanka at Headingley also helped him surpass Bangladesh ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan to become the leading run-scorer in World Cup 2019.
He also equaled the record for most centuries in World Cups with Sachin Tendulkar, after scoring his sixth on Saturday. His only other century came during the 2015 World Cup.
