World Cup 2023: 5 records that can be broken in the tournament

1. Rohit Sharma breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record for most centuries in the tournament

In the 2019 World Cup, Rohit Sharma played attacking cricket and became the leading run-scorer, amassing 648 runs with five tons and a half-century in nine matches. The veteran also became the first batter to hit five tons in a single installment of the ODI World Cup. 

Currently, he is the fourth-highest run-scorer for India in ODI World Cups, with 978 runs in 17 matches at a strike rate of 95.97. In the marquee ODI tournament coming ahead, there are high chances of Rohit becoming the third-highest run-getter for India as the stylish India opener is only 29 runs behind to surpass Sourav Ganguly, who is in the third place on the list of India batters with the most runs in the World Cups.

However, one more record will likely register under Rohit's name, is the most centuries in World Cups. Until now, the dynamic India opener is jointly holding the record for most World Cup tons with Sachin Tendulkar. However, in the upcoming ODI extravaganza, Rohit will get a chance to become the batter with the most centuries in the World Cups.
