Every batter dreams to score a century in the World Cup, though it's not a cakewalk. The cricket world cup is a pinnacle event which means there will be high quality of bowling as well as batting.
There are batters who are capable of keeping any formidable bowling attack at bay with their nonchalant approach. Then there are players like Kumar Sangakkara and Rohit Sharma who hit centuries for fun in a single edition of the World Cup, though different years.
Only two players have scored a double-centuries in the World Cup and both of them came in the 2015 edition. Rohit Sharma leveled Sachin Tendulkar's tally of six World Cup centuries in 2019. The Indian captain has the opportunity to break the feat in the 2023 World Cup.
