Rohit Sharma played a key role in India's World Cup victory, becoming the second-highest run-scorer of the tournament. The opening batsman amassed 257 runs in eight innings, averaging 36.71 with a strike rate of 156.70, including three fifties. He began with an unbeaten 52 against Ireland and delivered a stellar 92 against Australia in the Super 8, earning Player of the Match honours. His third half-century, 57 runs, came in the semi-final against England.

Rohit's contributions led India to victory, joining MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev as World Cup-winning Indian captains. This triumph marked a redemption for the 37-year-old, who had previously seen the team fall short in the last two finals.
