India opener Rohit Sharma has been in imperious form in the ongoing World Cup, having scored 319 runs in the three matches that the Men in Blue have played so far.

His runs at the top of the order made sure that a solid foundation was laid for the big hitters to launch into the attack towards the latter stages of the games. In all the three completed matches, Rohit has had to deal with a lot of short-pitched bowling from the opposition pacers in challenging conditions. But the India vice-captain rose to the occasion and brought out the square-batted shots to tackle the short-pitch balls bowled at him -- both outside the off stump and at the body. In fact, his most productive scoring shot in this tournament has been the cut.
