5. Rohit could become 2nd batsman to complete 4000 runs in T20Is

6. Rohit set to become most capped player of Mumbai Indians in IPL
Rohit Sharma has played 182 matches for Mumbai Indians in IPL. Only Kieron Pollard has played more matches (189) for MI in IPL than the skipper. Rohit needs to play just 8 matches in IPL 2023 to become the most capped player of MI in IPL history.
7. Rohit Sharma might break Sachin Tendulkar's record in ODI WC:
Rohit Sharma has six centuries in ODI WC so far which is joint-most with Sachin Tendulkar. Rohit smashed a century vs Bangladesh in 2015 QF game and in 2019 WC, he recorded five centuries in that single edition alone. If Rohit hits 1 more century in the upcoming World Cup, then he would surpass Sachin Tendulkar to have most hundreds in ODI WC history.
