All the records Rohit Sharma broke during astonishing World Cup innings

Rohit blazed 131 in just 84 balls as his team sauntered past Afghanistan's 272, eventually winning with 90 balls to spare.

In his trademark mix of brash and balance at the crease, the skipper blazed 16 fours and five sixes, completely dictating terms at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi would have been excused for thinking he was a man short in the middle, as Sharma toyed with his opposition's field-sets and bowling.

Virat Kohli (55*) and Shreyas Iyer (25*) finished the chase, earlier set up by the opening partnership of Rohit and Ishan Kishan (47), who put on 156 in 18.4 overs.

Rashid Khan (2/57 off eight overs) was the only bowler to make any headway for Afghanistan, with four of his teammates going for eight an over or more.

Rohit claimed unanimous Player of the Match honours, as India joined New Zealand and Pakistan as teams to start two from two at the tournament.

**63:**Reaching his century in just 63 balls, Rohit smashed the fastest century by and India player at a Cricket World Cup, breaking a 40 year record set by the legendary Kapil Dev 40 years ago.

Dev reached his hundred in 72 balls against Zimbabwe at the Nevill Ground in Tunbridge Wells, England - the venue's only ever ODI. Dev eventually made 175* from 138 balls with 22 boundaries.

7: Rohit has gone clear of compatriot Sachin Tendulkar with seven Cricket World Cup centuries.

Incredibly, Rohit has achieved the record in just 19 innings and across in only three World Cup campaigns, in comparison to Tendulkar's 44 innings.

But it will be tough going to reach Tendulkar's record for the most runs at Cricket World Cups of 2278 at an average 56.95, though Rohit boasts a superior average of 65.23 which is also the highest among players to reach four figures across the tournaments.

19: Rohit joined a fellow tearaway opener in David Warner as the joint-fastest batters to reach 1000 Cricket World Cup runs, doing so in just 19 innings.

Warner reached the milestone when India and Australia met in Chennai earlier in the tournament.

**1:**Rohit is the only Cricket World Cup 2023 captain to score a century to this point of the tournament.

31: Making his 31st ODI hundred, Rohit overtook Ricky Ponting in third place in the total ODI century list.

Only Kohli (47) and Tendulkar (49) stand above Rohit after the Delhi knock.

**556:**The five sixes Rohit struck in Delhi moved him to 556 sixes across the three formats of international cricket, passing the previous record-holder in the category, Chris Gayle.

Rohit managed to pass the West Indies opener in almost 80 fewer innings across formats (472).
