It was his third consecutive century in seven days and he erased former Sri Lanka legendary batsman Kumar Sangakkara’s record of four centuries in the 2015 World Cup while putting on a 189 runs partnership in 30.1 overs with KL Rahul after Sri Lanka were restricted to 264 for 7.
It was an amazing feat by Sharma, who is now being seen as the hitman of Indian cricket.
Other than Sharma, in the history of international cricket, only one man has scored five centuries in a series and that being West Indian Clyde Walcott in 1955 when he hit five tons in a Test series against Australia.
