Ranking all double hundreds in ODI cricket
Ishan Kishan scored the fastest double hundred in ODI cricket against Bangladesh recently.
4. Martin Guptill 237* vs West Indies
Martin Guptill holds the record for scoring the highest individual score in a World Cup and the Kiwi recorded the feat in the 2015 World Cup in Wellington. Guptill’s double ton also remains the second-highest individual score in ODI history by a batter and he was sensational throughout the same with some impeccable stroke-making.
Guptill’s partnership with Ross Taylor for the third wicket was the turning point and it invited a lot of aggressive play from the former. He kept hitting sixes for fun and managed to keep the bowlers under pressure once he crossed the 100-run mark.
Guptill’s double ton came up in 152 balls and he went on to remain unbeaten on 237 off 163 balls with 24 fours and 11 sixes in his innings. The fact that Guptill was able to do it on the biggest of stages in front a packed crowd was unthinkable and he was quite emotional after playing the substantial knock. The Kiwis won the game comfortably by 143 runs despite the West Indies scoring 250 in just 29 overs.
