India continued their rampage en route to the World Cup 2023 semi-finals as they took on Netherlands in the last game of the league stage. All the four top-order batsmen – Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer – brought up their half-centuries, even as India had over a dozen overs to spare.
The Indian top-order batsmen have now scored 50+ runs in the ODIs for the fifth time. India’s first incredible feat was achieved in 2006 against England in Indore. Then, they repeated it three times more before today’s IND vs NED match.
