The first semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will take place on November 15 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium between India and New Zealand. The two teams will square off in the semifinals once more following the 2019 World Cup. India had won all nine of their league stage matches going into the knockout stages, and captain Rohit Sharma starts during the powerplay overs were a major factor in that victory. In the current CWC 2023, he has performed admirably, amassing 503 runs in nine games, one century, and three fifties.
Because of his 126 strike rate, Rohit has been able to score runs at a rate that has aided the middle order in both middle and death overs. This will also be Rohit’s first time playing an ICC tournament knockout game at his home ground, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, since the 2016 T20 World Cup.
Let’s examine Rohit Sharma statistics and records at this homebound.
Mumbai’s ODI statistics for Rohit Sharma
At the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit Sharma has a dismal One-Day International (ODI) record. The Indian skipper, who has played four One-Day Internationals at the venue, has made just fifty runs in four innings, with a top of twenty at a strike rate of ninety-nine and an average of 12.50.
In a 2017 One-Day International (ODI) match in Mumbai against New Zealand, Trent Boult knocked him out for 20 runs in just 18 balls.
Matches | Innings | Runs | Average | 50s | 100s | Highest Score |
