Shreyas Iyer achieved his second consecutive century in the World Cup. Although his impressive knock of 105 significantly contributed to India's imposing total, it was somewhat overshadowed by the monumental milestone achieved by Kohli. Setting a remarkable record, Iyer surpassed Australia's Adam Gilchrist by achieving the fastest century in a World Cup knockout game. Gilchrist had previously scored a match-winning century off 72 balls against Sri Lanka in the 2007 World Cup final. (Image: PTI)
