Rohit Sharma again entered record books on Thursday by slamming his second one-day double hundred,264 runs off 151 balls and this time against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. His first one came against Australia last year in Bangalore where he scored 209 off 158 balls. Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag are the other two batsmen to score double hundreds.
Rohit also became the only player in world cricket to score two double hundreds. Rohit also broke Shikhar Dhawan’s List A record score of 248 scored against South Africa A in Pretoria last year.
Fellow and former cricketers took to Twitter to salute the batsman who made his comeback from injury after almost three months. When Rohit overtook Virender Sehwag's 219 to become the highest scorer in ODI history, Dhoni predicted that he would breach the 250-run mark as well.
