India to face Bangladesh in Pune in ODI World Cup
Knowing a win will smoothen their chances to the last four, India is unlikely to tinker much with their winning combination as it seems. Rohit Sharma is India’s leading run scorer in the tournament so far and given Bangladesh’s inexperienced bowling lineup, another big inning could be expected from the Indian captain. Rohit already has one hundred and one half century in this tournament and his ominous form against Bangladesh is another reason why this tie could be a spectacle.

Will Rohit Sharma score another century against Bangladesh
In 16 innings so far he has amassed 738 runs and that too with an average of 56.76 which also consisted of three centuries. The 36 year old also recorded two World Cup hundreds against the Bengal Tigers and would be adamant. Rohit happened to score a century against Bangladesh in the 2019 edition and also in the previous World Cup in 2015.
