Rohit Sharma continued his red-hot form with a sensational unbeaten fifty against Pakistan in the ICC World Cup 2023 match on Saturday, October 14. Indian captain gave India a flying start with a 36-ball fifty while chasing a 192-run target at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium and also achieved a huge milestone in ODI cricket.
