#1 Rohit Sharma, India (Most Runs)

Rohit Sharma smashed a century in his very first innings of World Cup 2019.

Though India did not have a successful campaign, India’s opener, Rohit Sharma, performed well under pressure for his team. As Shikhar Dhawan could not play because of an injury, Sharma took the responsibility of the batting unit and emerged as the leading run-scorer of World Cup 2019.

Opening the innings for India, the stylish opener from Mumbai aggregated 648 runs in 9 matches at a blistering average of 81 and strike rate of 98.53. He scored 5 centuries and 1 half-century with his bat which helped him top the run charts. The Hitman even toppled the record of scoring the most centuries in a single edition of the World Cup.
