    "editor1": "<p><strong>Leeds, July 7 (CRICKETNMORE) <\/strong>Rohit Sharma became the batsman with the most number of centuries in a single World Cup when he slammed his fifth hundred of the ongoing edition against Sri Lanka in India&#39;s last group stage encounter at the Headingley Cricket Ground on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The India vice-captain, who was tied with Kumar Sangakkara with four centuries, got past the former Sri Lanka captain against his own team by milking Kasun Rajitha for a four down the square leg boundary after playing three dot balls in the 29th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall, this was Rohit&#39;s six World Cup hundred with one coming against Bangladesh in the quarterfinal of the 2015 edition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rohit has taken the World Cup by storm since Day 1, scoring 122 not out against South Africa in India&#39;s opening game. After that, Rohit had scores of 57, 140, 1, 18, 102 and 104 before the Sri Lanka match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rohit looked in sublime touch from the word go after Sri Lanka posted 264\/7 in 50 overs, a score which is incidentally Rohit&#39;s highest in ODI cricket, which also came against the Lankans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the course of his innings, the ace opener also became the highest run-getter in the group stages of a single World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rohit went past Shakib Al Hasan&#39;s tally of 606 runs in eight innings when he reached 63. On Friday, Shakib broke Sachin Tendulkar&#39;s record made in the 2003 edition when the Master Blaster scored 586 runs in nine innings in the group stages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The leading scorer in the ongoing World Cup, Rohit also became the second Indian after Tendulkar to amass over 600 runs in a single edition of the showpiece event.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mathew Hayden had scored 580 runs in the group stages of the 2007 World Cup to be placed fourth in the list now.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
