In the meantime, Rohit Sharma was the standout performer, scoring a record-breaking century propelling India to successfully chase down the 273-run target in just 35 overs, with eight wickets in hand.. The skipper, who had a subdued performance in the previous match, led the team from the front with an outstanding display, establishing a strong foundation for India’s run chase.
Not only did his performance secure India’s victory, but it also enabled Sharma to surpass cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar’s record. He scored his seventh World Cup century, making him the leading century scorer in the history of ODI World Cups. Additionally, other players made valuable contributions, including Virat Kohli (55), Ishan Kishan (47), and Shreyas Iyer (25), among others.
