In a remarkable feat of consistency and sheer talent, Rohit Sharma has stormed into the prestigious 1,000-run club in World Cup cricket, accomplishing this milestone in a mere 19 innings. This achievement not only solidifies his status as one of the world’s premier batsmen but also places him in the esteemed company of cricketing legends.
Sharing the top spot with David Warner, Rohit Sharma’s swift journey to 1,000 runs matches the pace set by the Australian opener. Their joint record makes them the fastest players to achieve this feat in World Cup history. As the 23rd player overall to amass a minimum of 1,000 runs in the World Cup, Rohit’s exceptional batting skills shine bright. His impressive average of 65.23 and a striking strike rate of 100 further underscore his dominance on the international stage, placing him ahead of cricketing icons like Sachin Tendulkar, AB de Villiers, Sir Vivian Richards, and Sourav Ganguly.
