Indian captain Rohit Sharma set a few records during the ICC World Cup match against the Netherlands in Bengaluru on Sunday.
The 36-year-old, who scored 61 off 54 balls, became the first player to notch up 500-plus runs in two consecutive editions of the World Cup. The opener ended as the top run-getter in the 2019 World Cup with 648 runs. Rohit has 503 runs from nine matches in this edition. Only Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar had managed 500-plus aggregates in two World Cups - in 1996 and 2003.
Rohit also went past Sourav Ganguly's tally of 465 runs (in 2003) for the most runs scored by an Indian captain in a World Cup.
The 'Hitman' also broke the record for the most number of ODI sixes in a calendar year. Rohit, who was tied with South African great A B de Villiers' tally of 58 sixes, smashed two maximums at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
