<p>India’s KL Rahul was at his fluent best on Sunday (Nov 12) in the ODI World Cup as he helped India reach their second-highest total in the competition’s history. However, the match will go down in the history books for Rahul as he shattered Rohit Sharma’s record for fastest hundred in the ODI World Cup, doing so in 62 deliveries. It is worth noting that, Rohit had set the record just a few days ago when he scored a ton against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.</p>

<h2><strong>Rahul on roll</strong></h2>

<p>There were question marks on his fitness at the start of the ODI World Cup, and&nbsp;so Rahul had a point to prove before the start of the tournament. So far, he has had an impressive campaign for the Indian team that has seen him light up the Diwali stage in his home town Bengaluru. In an innings of composure, he scored 102 off 64 deliveries consisting of 11 fours and 4 sixes and a&nbsp;strike rate of over&nbsp;150.</p>

<p>His 62-ball ton saw him break Rohit’s record set on 11th October as he now dons the tag of fastest centurion for India in the ODI World Cup. He along with Shreyas Iyer stitch a record fourth-wicket partnership of 208 that propelled India to 410/4 in their 50 overs. Interestingly, the entire top five got to at least fifty in a first at the ODI World Cup.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Fastest century for India in World Cups (by balls)</strong></h2>

<p>63 - Rohit Sharma v AFG, 2023</p>

<h2><strong>What happened in India’s innings?</strong></h2>

<p>Earlier, India opted to bat first having won the toss in Bengaluru, skipper Rohit (61) and Shubman Gill (51), gave India a perfect start as they gave a 100-run stand for the opening wicket. After Gill’s departure, Virat Kohli (51) joined the party as the Indian batters continued to impress before their New Zealand showdown in the ODI World Cup semifinal on Wednesday.</p>

<p>However, it was Rahul and Shreyas who caught the eye with their remarkable 208-run stand for the fourth wicket. Shreyas scored an unbeaten 128 while Rahul was dismissed in the final over, moments after scoring his record ton on 102. Suryakumar Yadav remained unbeaten on 2 as India ended with 410/4 in their 50 overs. Bas de Leede ended with two wickets as he surpassed the tally of his father’s wickets for the national side while Paul van Meekeren and Roelof van der Merwe both ended with one wicket each.</p>
