Rohit Sharma struck a record-breaking century to lead India to an emphatic 8-wicket win over Afghanistan in the World Cup. Hasmatullah Shahidi's gritty 80 and Azmatullah Omarazai's gutsy 62 took Afghanistan to 272/8 after opting to bat. Jasprit Bumrah took 4 wickets for his best World Cup figures. But Rohit stole the show reaching his century in just 63 balls, the fastest ton by an Indian in the World Cup. Displaying envious strokeplay, Rohit smashed 131 off 84 in the batting beauty. Kohli scored his consecutive half-century and remained unbeaten on 55 off 56. India overhauled the target in just 35 overs, boosting their net run rate before the crucial Pakistan clash.
