India openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul provided a rollicking start against Bangladesh after Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat in the match 40 of the ICC Cricket World Cup in Edgbaston on Tuesday.
After a couple of lean performances against Afghanistan and the West Indies, Rohit Sharma has evidenced that his purple patch hasn’t been compromised as he has now struck his record-matching fourth hundred – second consecutive century – in the ongoing World Cup. After scoring 102 against England on Sunday, Rohit laid platform for a big total after bringing his century off just 90 balls, before, he was eventually dismissed for 104. The only other batsman to hit four centuries in a single World Cup is Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara, who achieved the feat in the 2015 edition. Following Rohit Sharma’s blitzkrieg, a slew of reactions from former cricketers, fans and experts poured in on Twitter.
