In a riveting match at New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, Rohit Sharma showcased his batting prowess, smashing an outstanding 131-run innings that played a crucial role in India’s victory over Afghanistan during the ODI World Cup 2023. The impressive performance left cricket enthusiasts and fellow players in awe, with Australian opener David Warner leading the chorus of praise for the Indian batting sensation.

Additionally, he surpassed Chris Gayle’s record for the most sixes in the World Cup (553), secured the most centuries in a 50-over World Cup (7), and claimed the title of the fastest century by an Indian at the World Cup, achieving it in just 63 balls during his 31st ODI century.

India vs Australia highlights
In the highly anticipated ODI World Cup opener against India, Australian batter David Warner smashed 41 runs. India made an early breakthrough when Jasprit Bumrah induced a mistimed shot from Mitchell Marsh, resulting in a catch for Virat Kohli at first slip, dismissing Marsh for a duck.
Warner and Steve Smith capitalized on scoring opportunities, particularly against full or half-volley deliveries from the Indian fast bowlers. Despite facing a few challenging deliveries from Mohammed Siraj that stayed low, the duo took advantage of Hardik Pandya, scoring 21 runs off his two overs.
Warner showcased his aggression by advancing down the pitch, executing an inside-out shot against Ravichandran Ashwin for a boundary and following it up with a sweeping shot off Kuldeep Yadav for another four. However, Kuldeep Yadav managed to break the 69-run partnership in the 17th over by deceiving Warner with a tossed-up delivery, resulting in a caught-and-bowled dismissal.
