Is David Warner the oldest man to score a World Cup century?
And whose record of most World Cup centuries did Rohit Sharma beat?

David Warner's rampaging 163 against Pakistan in the group game in Bengaluru last week puts him third on the Australian list - but since he occupies the top two places as well, he is their men's record-holder!
You probably didn't mean this, but since the first women's World Cup predated the men's by two years - it was held in England in 1973 - the first World Cup century was actually scored by England's Lynne Thomas, against an International XI in Hove. Thomas was eventually run out for 134 after an opening stand of 246 with Enid Bakewell, who finished with 101 not out. Bakewell made another century later in that inaugural competition, as did Rachael Heyhoe Flint. The first five-for was by the Australian seamer Tina Macpherson, who had figures of 12-7-14-5 as Young England were skittled for 57 in Bournemouth, a few hours before New Zealand slow left-armer Glenys Page took 6 for 20 against Trinidad & Tobago in St Albans.
Warner is due to turn 37 on Friday (October 27), and a week before that hit 163 against Pakistan in Bengaluru.
It is right, yes. Rohit Sharma's 84-ball 131 against Afghanistan in Delhi was his seventh century in World Cup matches, which included one in 2015 and a record five in England in 2019.
The match you're talking about was in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan's domestic first-class competition, in Lahore last week. After their side was put in, six Multan batters scored between 101 and 118. Captain Zain Abbas (118) and wicketkeeper Haseebullah Khan (101) started with an opening stand of 204, then Sharoon Siraj made 114 and Mohammad Basit Ali 105, before Saim Ayyaz (117) and Ali Usman (105 not out) put on 186 for the seventh wicket. Zahid Mahmood, the legspinner who played two Tests against England last December, might be irritated at bagging a duck on a pretty friendly pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium: after Multan declared at 718 for 8, Lahore Blues made 578 for 6 before a draw was agreed. Imran Butt scored 255 and his fellow opener Hashim Ibraheem 120 for them.
"There's one other case in a World Cup: Phil DeFreitas did it against New Zealand in Wellington in March 1992. In the opening match of the same World Cup, Australia's Craig McDermott took a wicket with his first legal ball and was run out for one after facing one delivery, against New Zealand in Auckland. He was not run out first ball though."
