Rohit Sharma scored 648 runs in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019. He made those runs in 9 innings at an outstanding average of 81.00, finishing as the tournament's highest run-scorer. He also scored a record five centuries in a single World Cup edition.

For me, Rohit's 2019 World Cup is one of those performances where the final number doesn't fully explain how dominant he was. Scoring one World Cup century is special; scoring five in the same tournament and repeatedly giving India strong starts was something else.

His consistency is what stands out to me. In a World Cup, one bad week can completely change a player's tournament, but Rohit kept producing big innings across different opponents.

The ICC subsequently selected him in its 2019 World Cup Team of the Tournament.

Five Centuries

Rohit created history by becoming the first batter to score five centuries in a single men's Cricket World Cup.

His five hundreds were:

South Africa → 122*
Pakistan → 140
England → 102
Bangladesh → 104
Sri Lanka → 103

The previous record belonged to Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, who scored four centuries during the 2015 World Cup.

Personally, the sequence against England, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is what makes this even crazier to me. Rohit scored hundreds in three consecutive matches when India were already deep into the tournament and every game was becoming increasingly important.

Leading Run-Scorer Comparison

Rohit finished the 2019 World Cup as the leading run-scorer.

Joe Root

David Warner finished just one run behind Rohit, which shows how close the race actually was.

Still, Rohit's five centuries separated his campaign from everyone else's. The ICC described his tournament as record-breaking and named him as an opener in its Team of the Tournament.

Sachin Record Comparison

Rohit came extremely close to breaking Sachin Tendulkar's then-record for the most runs in a single men's World Cup edition.

Sachin Tendulkar scored 673 runs during the 2003 World Cup. Rohit finished 2019 with 648—only 25 runs short.

Rohit had an opportunity to go past the record in India's semi-final against New Zealand, but he was dismissed for just 1.

That's one of those cricketing "what ifs" I still find fascinating. After five hundreds, another decent innings could have taken him past one of Sachin's biggest World Cup records.
