10 ODI records that may never be broken
The series of ODI records began when the concept of the World Cup was introduced.
10. Rohit Sharma’s highest score in an ODI innings
Rohit Sharma holds the record of the most number of double centuries in ODI cricket, by scoring three double hundreds till now. Although the Indian vice-captain had stated that he is looking to score more than double hundreds, there is a record that looks unbreakable for Rohit himself. His record of 264 runs in an ODI inning is the most unbreakable figure present today.
During an ODI against Sri Lanka in 2014, Rohit Sharma was making a comeback to the ODI side. Initially, he was dropped on 4, and this drop was very costly for the Sri Lankans as the Hitman went on to score 264 off 173 balls. This inning included 33 boundaries and 9 sixes. To date, Rohit remains the only batsman to score more than one double hundred in the limited-overs format.
During his inning, the Indian opener rode his luck as a drop was worth 260 individual runs for the Sri Lankans. He brought up his century off 100 balls in the 32nd over of the inning and his next fifty came in 25 balls. He scored the second double hundred off 151 balls during the 46th over. The next 22 balls were absolute carnage.
Rohit smashed 9 boundaries and 3 sixes and was caught in the final ball of the inning. This is a record that might remain untouched in ODI cricket. Well, it is very astonishing to see how dominant a batsman can be! Rohit’s 264 is the record that tops this list.
