Rohit Sharma's Record-Breaking Century

Rohit Sharma made a remarkable comeback to the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) after a seven-year hiatus, showcasing his talent in a thrilling match for Mumbai against Sikkim at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium. He played a pivotal role in leading his team to victory with a stunning century.

In pursuit of a target of 237 runs during the 50-over match, Rohit opened the batting and aggressively attacked the bowlers. In front of an enthusiastic crowd, he reached his century in just 62 balls, hitting eight sixes and eight fours. This achievement marked Rohit's fastest century in List A cricket, breaking his previous record of a 63-ball hundred against Afghanistan during the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Rohit concluded his innings with an impressive total of 155 runs off 94 balls, including 18 fours and nine sixes, steering Mumbai to a decisive eight-wicket victory, achieving the target in only 30.3 overs. His outstanding performance earned him the 'Player of the Match' title.
