NEW DELHI: Four years ago on this present day, the listing books of the ODI cricket had been rewritten via Indian batsman Rohit Sharma who bludgeoned his way to rating a 2d double hundred in ODIs and made his feat memorable via making the highest-ever person rating in the layout.
Rohit's landmark came all over the fourth ODI of the five-match collection against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata when he accrued 264 runs off 173 balls to power India to 404/5. He smacked 33 fours and 9 sixes all over the course of his record-breaking knock. Sri Lanka had been bowled out for 251 in 43.1 overs.
Rohit went previous compatriot Virender Sehwag's earlier international listing of 219 runs. Sehwag had scored against the West Indies in Indore, in 2011.
Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar was the primary male cricketer to hit a double hundred in ODIs when he made 200 not out against South Africa in 2010. Sehwag was 2d while Rohit was third when he scored his first double ton (209) against Australia in Bengaluru in 2013.
Chris Gayle (215), Martin Guptill (237 not out) and Fakhar Zaman (210 not out) are the other batsmen to have scored double centuries in one-dayers.
