IND vs SL: Rohit Sharma surpasses Sachin Tendulkar with an incredible fifty in the Second ODI

IND vs SL: India?s T20 World Cup-winning skipper, who stood firm in the World Cup and led India to a title triumph, announced his retirement from the format. But though Rohit has left playing the format, the format doesn?t seem to let Rohit go, as he has evolved his ball-striking strategies and implemented them in the longer format of white-ball cricket.
Sharma broke several scintillating records in the first ODI as he surpassed many greats of the game. So did he when he came into bat in the 2nd ODI as well, as he went past the likes of greats Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni to claim the fourth spot among the highest run-getters for the Indian team in the ODI format.
Rohit, one of the greatest white-ball openers of all time while playing in the powerplay, scored yet another half-century. Firstly, he broke one of the most legendary batters in the world and India?s greatest ever, Sachin Tendulkar?s record of most tons in World Cups. The legend, who had six centuries to his name, was surpassed by Rohit, who scored his seventh (7) against Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023.
This time around he has produced something very different to once again get past the legendary player, Rohit, who levelled himself with the likes of the legend in the 1st ODI with 120 50+ scores as an opener in the format, now has gone past Tendulkar with 121 such 50+ innings and is still counting. This was Rohit?s second 50 of the series, and both were scored within the powerplay at a very quick time, as he scored the first one with 33 balls and the next in just 29 balls.

This feat adds another recognizable feat in his career following his stunning record of the highest individual score of 264, which seems quite unbreakable in the near future. Many have claimed if anyone is worthy enough, then it's Rohit to break his record.
