World Cup 2023 : The Indian cricket team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has managed to win their opening three matches in the ODI World Cup 2023. Along with this, the Indian team is at the top with 6 points. 36-year-old Rohit Sharma has scored 217 runs at an average of 72 in 4 innings in ODI World Cup 2023.

Rohit has a chance to break Dhoni and Kapil Dev’s record
MS Dhoni scored 214 and 237 runs as captain in ODI World Cup 2011 and 2015 respectively. If Rohit Sharma scores 25 runs in the match against Bangladesh, he will overtake Dhoni as the highest run scorer in a season in ODI World Cup. Apart from this, Kapil Dev scored 303 runs as captain in ODI World Cup 1983. Rohit needs 87 runs to break Kapil Dev’s record.
Ganguly tops the list
Sourav Ganguly holds the record for most runs scored by India as a captain in a single season of ODI World Cup. Ganguly scored 465 runs in ODI World Cup 2003, including 3 centuries. While Virat Kohli scored 443 runs in ODI World Cup 2019. Which includes 5 Fifty. No other Indian captain has scored 400 runs in a single ODI World Cup season. Rohit needs 249 runs to become number-1 in this list. Looking at his form it can be said that this run is not much. Rohit Sharma is the only batsman to score 3 double centuries in ODIs.
