After a forgettable start with the bat, where Rohit scored a duck against Australia, the Indian skipper has come into his own, scoring 131 against Afghanistan, 86 against Pakistan and 48 against Bangladesh. Rohit's seventh ODI World Cup hundred, which came in the match against Afghanistan, took him past Sachin Tendulkar's record of six World Cup centuries. Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik sang praises of Rohit and the role he is performing for India in this World Cup at the top of the order.
