ICC World Cup 2019: 5 non-English batsmen who can finish as the higher run-getter of the tournament

#4 Rohit Sharma (India)

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma’s career renaissance began at the 2013 Champions Trophy when he finally fulfilled all the expectations of the fans with consistent performances as an opener. He hasn’t looked back since then, and at his fluent best he is a sight for sore eyes.

Since the 2015 World Cup, Rohit has scored 458 runs at an average of 76.33 in English conditions. He has registered two hundreds during this period, one each against Bangladesh and England.

Rohit's century against Bangladesh came during the 2017 Champions Trophy semifinal in Birmingham when India were chasing 264. His performance resulted in a easy victory for India as they won with 9 wickets in hand.

Last year, he made a similar 137* against England at Nottingham. Rohit’s biggest gift is his ability to score at a breakneck pace after reaching his century, and he will play a vital role in India’s quest for World Cup glory.
