The Indian sports fraternity, mostly cricketers, took to various social media platforms to laud Rohit Sharma after the batsman scored his fifth century in the ongoing edition of the World Cup. Here’s what some of them had to say.
Virender Sehwag: Unbelievable consistency from Rohit Sharma, World Cup hundreds running in him just as haemoglobin in our bloods.
Sachin Tendulkar: Three consecutive hundreds and five in a single World Cup is just phenomenal, Rohit.
Suresh Raina: They have the temperament, they have what it takes to power up and carry the day on their shoulders. Fiercely focused and consistent with the bat @ImRo45 and @klrahul are proving to be quite the opening pair. Fantastic innings by the two.
Ian Bishop: A record-breaking fifth World Cup century in #CWC 19 for Rohit Sharma. A pure pleasure to watch. Surely he will leave a legacy as one of the great white ball batsman.
BCCI: Rohit Sharma, you beauty. Brings up his fifth World Cup hundred, third century in a row. Also become the only batsman to score five centuries in a World Cup. There is no stopping this fella (sic).
VVS Laxman: It has been a classy display from Rohit Sharma this World Cup. To score five centuries in a single edition of the World Cup in eight innings is truly special.
