On Wednesday in Jaipur, Rohit Sharma delivered a spectacular and record-setting performance upon his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy, scoring 155 runs off 94 balls, leading Mumbai to an eight-wicket win against Sikkim while chasing a target of 237.
The 38-year-old celebrated his return to India’s top domestic one-day tournament after seven years by reaching his century in just 62 balls, the fastest List A hundred of his career, breaking his personal record of 63 balls set during the 2023 ODI World Cup.
He hit 18 fours and nine sixes, exhibiting a powerful and precise batting style against a relatively young team, and established a 141-run opening partnership with Angkrish Raghuvanshi (38), effectively turning the match in their favor.
The innings, played in front of a full house at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, also marked Rohit’s 37th List A century, highlighting his remarkable talent and enhancing his reputation ahead of India’s forthcoming matches.
