Rohit Sharma has scored not one, not two but three double tons in ODI history. Rohit’s second double ton against the Sri Lankan team, at the Eden garden, Kolkata in 2014 is the biggest individual score of IDIs cricket (264).

“The fact that I went on to bat 50 overs was absolutely pleasing,” says Rohit Sharma, the Man of the Match. “I have been working on it. To bat as long as possible. Finally I managed that. That run-out of Virat was my mistake. Things like that happened, but not hard feelings there. It was a crucial partnership we were building, and to lose him then was quite frustrating.

But I kept telling myself to keep on going. It’s going to be difficult to pick out one shot that stands out. I really cannot pick out one. I will try my best to get to 300, but as of now I will take 264. A lot of memories at Eden Gardens that will remain close to me. This one was really special” Rohit Sharma said after the match.
