After being dismissed for a duck against Australia, India skipper Rohit Sharma brought out his beast mode against Afghanistan rendering the bowlers to effectively bowing machines in Delhi.

India and Afghanistan met on Wednesday in their World Cup 2023 encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, where Rohit Sharma broke several records with his thunderous batting.

He smoked 131 runs in 84 balls with the help of 16 fours and 5 sixes that helped India canter to the target of 273 runs with 8 wickets in hand and 15 overs to spare.

Rohit Sharma reached his half-century in 30 balls and his century in 63 balls. This is now the fastest ODI World Cup century by an Indian batsman, breaking Kapil Dev’s record of 72 balls in the 1983 World Cup.

Sharma now has 7 hundreds in the ODI WC, the most number of centuries of all-time, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 6 World Cup centuries. He also now has hit the most number of international sixes, breaking Chris Gayle’s tally of 553 sixes.

Rohit Sharma’s onslaught over the Afghanistan bowlers sparked a meme-fest on social media. Fans posted hilarious memes on Rohit’s entertaining knock.

Funny memes on Rohit Sharma’s century against Afghanistan:

Jasprit Bumrah had taken 4 wickets that restricted Afghanistan to 272.

Speaking in the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma said: “It was a good pitch to bat on, just backed myself to play my natural game. I knew once I got my eye in, the wicket was going to get easier for me. Something that I have been working on from a long time. It’s a special feeling to get a World Cup hundred. Really happy with that.

“Don’t want to think too much (scoring 7 hundreds in just three World Cups), I don’t want to lose my focus. You need to make such things count. You gotta make it big. Some of it (the shots he plays) is premeditated. I let my instincts take over at times, sometimes it really works well. It’s my job to make sure to get those starts especially in run chases. That’s something I have done in the past and something I love doing. Sometimes it (attacking the bowlers) works, sometimes it doesn’t. Just need to keep doing it and keep putting oppositions under pressure going forward.”
