4 batsmen who can score 300 in ODI cricket

4 batsmen who can score 300 in ODI cricket: All shackles, barriers, limits and imagination were bypassed in ODI cricket when Sachin Tendulkar first scored a double hundred in a match against South Africa. Till that time 200 looked too big to be achieved, but since the little master did it, three other batsmen have collectively hit as many as four double tons in ODI cricket. The highest individual score that is registered in 50 over’s cricket now is 264 in the name of Indian opener Rohit Sharma, what he showed with the innings was that not only 200 but things beyond it are pretty much possible as well in limited over’s cricket today. Who can forget Chris Gayle’s (215 from 147 balls) fastest double hundred in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Another couple of innings from AB de Villiers, Brendon McCullum, and David Warner suggest that the day is not far when we will also see a 300 being scored by a batsman in ODI cricket. Here are the 4 batsmen one among whom is most likely to break into it: 1. Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma can surely crack up a 300 on his day. (Photo Source: AFP) If social media has been particularly hard on a guy Rohit is one of those, from being called the Maggi Man (for getting out in 2 minutes) to Talented Sharma (for him being out of form and suddenly breaking records), even if he performs or doesn’t the jokes keep doing rounds. Say what the way he plays shows so much ease, as lazy as it can be and still has all the time in the world to perfectly time his hits. The only man in the history of ODI cricket to have three double hundreds also the highest individual score record holder, Rohit Sharma can surely crack up a 300 on his day. 2. Chris Gayle Gayle took the Zimbabwe bowling to task and recorded the first double hundred in world.

When pressure keeps mounting there are only two possible outcomes it either gets the better of you or it gets you to become a better cricketer. Gayle took the Zimbabwe bowling to task and recorded the first double hundred in world cup cricket and also the fastest among the 5 scored till date. You can never keep him out from the fray and the only man who has a test triple ton an ODI double and a hundred in T20s is a front-runner in scoring triple century in 50 over’s format as well. 3. AB de Villiers Mr. 360 has the best chance to be the first player to break into the 300 club.

Against the same opponent in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 AB was instrumental and at his thrilling best, as he dispensed all the West Indian bowlers in his 66 balls 162* which saw him break the fastest 150 record in one day cricket as well. Mr. 360 has the best chance to be the first player to break into the 300 club. 4. David Warner The Australian opener had a huge chance of not only scoring the double but also the triple ton vs Afghanistan. (© Getty Images) David Warner was an underperformer for Australia until last week and he was the central character in Australia recording one of the biggest wins in limited over’s cricket against the Associates Afghanistan by a huge margin of 275 runs. Warner scored 178 runs in his innings, and till the time he stayed at the crease he looked certain to overhaul quite a few records. Once he gets going, the bowlers more often than not find even the good balls being put away and a full-fledged attack is his way of dealing. The Australian opener had a huge chance of not only scoring the double but also the triple ton.
