Team India is indomitable at the ICC World Cup. Even though the team has already secured a place in the semi-finals, the Men in Blue still went on to overpower Sri Lanka by seven wickets in their last match of round-robin stage. Not only that, the team also made the day super significant; a day that’ll be seen as one of the finest in the history of Indian cricket. Rohit Sharma is in the form of his life as he rewrote the record books by becoming the first batsman ever to score five centuries in a single edition of the World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah became the second Indian player to take 100 ODI wickets and even KL Rahul scored his first century in the World Cup. Twitterati had reasons enough to indulge in joy and merry making and here’s how they celebrated.
3 – Rohit Sharma has become only the 2nd man to claim 3 ODI centuries in succession for India (Kohli, 2018). Relentless. #SLvIND #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/hRyn0yu4A3

3 consecutive 100s and 5 in a single @cricketworldcup is just phenomenal, Rohit.
Very good to see @klrahul11 go on to convert a good knock into a 100 as well!👌 Good signs. 🙂#CWC19 #INDvSL pic.twitter.com/p7e3cduV8B— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) July 6, 2019
Oozing class on the way to the 🔢5th ton of the world cup. @ImRo45 is now making numbers look silly. #ICCCricketWorldCup 👏

Steve Waugh
Arjuna Ranatunga
Brendon Mccullum
Andy Flower
Suresh Raina
Micheal HusseySome of these legends do not have more than 5 ODI hundreds in their career.
Rohit Sharma has scored that many in one World Cup. What form!! What a player!! #WC19— Gaurav Sundararaman (@gaurav_sundar) July 6, 2019
Only two men in 142 years history of international cricket have scored 5 centuries in one series/tournament. Rohit Sharma in WC 2019 and Sir Clyde Walcott in a Test series vs Aus in 1955. #CWC19

There’s hypnosis in Rohit Sharma’s batting. It’s a spell. It’s magic. You’re a star @ImRo45 … Thanks for another gem .. #INDvSL #CWC19

So happy for this brilliant young guy @klrahul11. This is how you shut them up da. More power to you. Our foundation is looking so strong going into the semis. What a campaign! #BleedBlue #CWC2019 #INDvSL

Just the kind of victory #TeamIndia needed. @ImRo45 classy, astonishing run of centuries. Congratulations @imVkohli and team. Onto the semi finals. Onward and upward! #IndvSL @cricketworldcup

Bit of grip and turn for Jadeja. Quite the conditions he would have ordered.
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) July 6, 2019
Unbelievable consistency from Rohit Sharma, World Cup 100’s running in him like haemoglobin in our bloods. A good 100 from KL Rahul as well and a well deserved win for Team India. Semi Finals kiske saath lag raha hai ? #IndvSL pic.twitter.com/ehp5VZXWWF
— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) July 6, 2019
It has been a class display from Rohit Sharma this World Cup, to score 5 centuries in a single edition in just 8 innings is truly special. Feel delighted for KL Rahul as well, has been a pleasure to see him score a 100 today. Brilliant for Indian Cricket #IndvSL pic.twitter.com/6EYdgD4OHi

Just how good is Bumrah….he’s in a different league. A league of his own. #CWC19 #IndvBan

Am hoping Jadeja will do his Bits today And shred the Sri Lankan middle order to Pieces.— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) July 6, 2019
Jadeja HAS TO play in this Indian team in the semi-final.
Shami back for Kuldeep & DK out to keep Jadu!
Still an easy game for England, but India’s best options…
— Kevin Pietersen🦏 (@KP24) July 6, 2019
In last 365 days, Rohit Sharma has aggregated a mind-boggling 2063 runs in 34 innings with 10 hundreds.
No one else has scored 10 hundreds in ANY span of 365 days in one-day international cricket!#INDvSL #SLvIND— Rajneesh Gupta (@rgcricket) July 6, 2019
How does @ImRo45 not get into the Test team … !!! My thought for the day ……….. #CWC19
— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) July 6, 2019
What World Cup batting records still remaining for Rohit Sharma to conquer? @mohanstatsman
— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) July 6, 2019
Spiffy day for Jadeja. Brilliant in the field, as usual, and a fine spell. Had luck been on his side, would have chalked up a couple of more wickets. Perhaps would play ahead of Kedar Jadhav in the semi-final.. #CWC19
— Navneet Mundhra (@navneet_mundhra) July 6, 2019
Matthews and Thirimanne doing a good job of rebuilding. Will look to push the score to 250. But that is still some way off. #CWC19 #SLvIND
— Anand Vasu (@anandvasu) July 6, 2019
Well done @Angelo69Mathews .. At his best…. A hundred under pressure #IndvSL #CWC2019 The runs after the hundred will decide this match !!!! Cmon..!!! A brilliant hundred now make it a match winning one.

Most 150-plus opening stands in an edition of ODI WC:
2 – T Dilshan/U Tharanga, 2011
2 – KL Rahul/Rohit Sharma, 2019*#SLvIND— Umang Pabari (@UPStatsman) July 6, 2019
It's crazy how much India would've revered Rohit Sharma had Virat Kohli not existed #CWC19 #INDvSL

Rohit Sharma becomes the first batsman to score FIVE tons in a single World Cup edition
Rohit now has joint-most tons in WC (6 — with Sachin Tendulkar)
2nd Indian to hit 3 consecutive ODI tons (after Virat)
Joint 5th in the list of most ODI tons (27)#INDvSL #SLvsIND #SLvIND
— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang) July 6, 2019
What was even more heartening than @ImRo45's record 5th century this World Cup was @imVkohli's tension as Rohit neared the three figure mark and his absolute delight when Rohit got there. Proud to support this team, whatever the result!
— Joy Bhattacharjya (@joybhattacharj) July 6, 2019
No one ever has scored a century 5 times in one edition of the @cricketworldcup.. a dream run! Top class @ImRo45#INDvSL #CWC19

Rohit Sharma is playing at another level, fatherhood has helped him immensely. Also, nice to see KL Rahul convert this into a 100. #IndvSL

Can't speak for others, but the thought that #Malinga won't play another World Cup match leaves a lump in the throat.#INDvSL #SLvIND #CWC19

They have the temperament, they have what it takes to power up & carry the day on their shoulders. Fiercely focused & consistent with the bat, @ImRo45 @klrahul11 are proving to be quite the opening pair. Fantastic innings the by two, all geared up for semis! #INDvSL #CWC19
— Suresh Raina🇮🇳 (@ImRaina) July 6, 2019
Rohit Sharma is the Virat Kohli of #CWC19
Shadow Kohli is an achievement itself.
5 hundred in a World Cup is just out of this World show.
In SF and Final (if reached) Rohit will trump card along Kohli.
Champion Stuff @ImRo45 👏👏👏#INDvSL
