Leeds: Rohit Sharma has made this World Cup his own. The Hit-Man, as he is fondly called, became the only batsman to score five centuries in a single edition when he notched up a brilliant 103 against Sri Lanka at Headingley on Saturday, his third three-figure score on the trot. He also equalled Sachin Tendulkar's record of most hundreds in World Cup history (six in 44 innings), by scoring his sixth in just 16 games.
