RRR: Rampant Record-breaking Rohit at the World Cup

Rohit. Runs. Records. Since 2007, this piece of fiction has been running successfully in arenas worldwide, and now, an interesting new plot has been discovered.

In all his majesty and glory with the bat, the Hitman knocked down a couple of towering milestones in the India vs Netherlands matchup in the CWC 2023.

What are they? Let us take you through them:

- Most ODI sixes in a calendar year (60)

- 500 runs in successive WC editions

- Most runs by an Indian captain in a single WC (503 runs)

Besides these, our captain, leader, icon and legend used the occasion to treat himself to some personal highs:

- In 2019 and 2023, he matched the record of aggregating 500-plus runs in two or more ODI World Cups set by Sachin Tendulkar (1996 & 2003)

- With his knock of 61 in 54 balls against Netherlands, he reached Hundred fifties in international cricket (55 in ODIs, 29 in T20Is and 16 in Tests)
