Who was the highest run scorer in Men’s World Cup cricket - 2019?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 4  i.e. Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma was the highest run-scorer in the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. Representing India, he scored 648 runs in just 9 matches at an impressive average of 81.00. His tally included five centuries—the most ever by a batsman in a single World Cup edition. Rohit’s consistent performance played a crucial role in India’s journey to the semi-finals. His ability to anchor the innings while accelerating the run rate made him a standout performer. For his exceptional run, he was awarded the ICC Golden Bat. He narrowly edged out Australia’s David Warner, who scored 647 runs in the tournament.

Other options:

  • Shikhar Dhawan: Injured early; played only two matches.

  • Virat Kohli: Scored consistently but less than Rohit (443 runs).

  • DA Warner: Second-highest scorer with 647 runs for Australia.
