Bengaluru: Lokesh Rahul holds the record of being the fastest Indian player to score a century in the ODI World Cup. In the last league match against Holland, Rahul scored a century off 62 balls.
Rahul scored his second World Cup century in his career. Captain Rohit Sharma’s record for the fastest century in the World Cup was broken. Rahul scored a century by hitting two sixes in the last over.
Rohit scored a 63-ball century against Afghanistan. Rahul scored 102 runs in 64 balls with four sixes and 11 fours. The strike rate was 159. Rahul scored 347 runs in nine innings at an average of 69.40. Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill also recorded a century partnership. This year, both of them have made a century partnership five times. Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz shared a four-time century partnership.
Sri Lanka’s Dimuth Karunaratne and Pathum Nisanka were third and Kushal Mendis and Sadira Samarawickrem were fourth. Former captain Virat Kohli also reached a rare record yesterday. Kohli has reached the highest number of half-centuries in the ODI World Cup. Kohli came close to the record of seven half-centuries held by Sachin Tendulkar and Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan. Sachin achieved this feat in the 2003 World Cup (one century and six fifties). Shakib (two centuries and five half-centuries) joined Sachin in the last World Cup.
