Rohit Sharma is one of the greatest cricketers of this generation and since the time he made his debut in 2007, there was no doubt that the young boy from Maharashtra will go onto become one of the finest batters of the game. 

After a slow start to his career, he got into his groove around 2013 and since then, has been absolutely unstoppable. He has notched up his seventh century in World Cup cricket now, going past the great Sachin Tendulkar and has slammed it in just 63 balls, the fastest by an Indian cricketer in World Cup. Afghanistan are on the receiving end and it has truly been a knock to behold from India's own Hitman.

Rohit Sharma looked like a man on mission right from the onset and got to his fifty in just 30 balls. He hammered some big blows on the way and broke a flurry of records, like the fastest to get to 1000 runs in World Cups and surpassing Sourav Ganguly in the list of most runs by Indian batters in the World Cup history. He hit four big sixes on his way to his century and has also now hit most sixes in international cricket. 

There are few batters who catch the imagination of the cricketing world, the way, Rohit Sharma catches when he is in his full flow, and this hundred will be surely be remembered as one of the greatest ever in the World Cup history.
