By Saurabh Sharma July 07, 2019 • 00:56 AM View: 2271

Leeds, July 7 (CRICKETNMORE) Rohit Sharma became the batsman with the most number of centuries in a single World Cup when he slammed his fifth hundred of the ongoing edition against Sri Lanka in India's last group stage encounter at the Headingley Cricket Ground on Saturday.

The India vice-captain, who was tied with Kumar Sangakkara with four centuries, got past the former Sri Lanka captain against his own team by milking Kasun Rajitha for a four down the square leg boundary after playing three dot balls in the 29th over.
