Rohit's skipper Virat Kohli owns the record, his maiden World Cup hundred against Bangladesh coming off just 83 balls in Dhaka.
After being put into bat on Sunday, Rohit and K. L. Rahul put on a century-plus stand to put India in a commanding position.
Rohit has struck nine boundaries and three sixes and looks set for a big score as India aims to post a huge total on the board.
