Just half an hour before this post was published, the world witnessed he greatest (Not probably, I don't think it's the greatest) innings of all ODI times! Rohit Sharma's epic 264 off 173 balls, I'm not talking about tests here, it's ODIs, where making even a hundred is tough!
Imagine someone on strike, just keeping to hit the ball over the boundary rope, that's what Rohit Sharma did today. He is also called No-Hit, and also Hitman. He proved to be the second one today, hitting the ball continuously without any mercy.
Rohit was making a series debut for India in this match, he had already hit a hundred in a practice match against the same team. And it's a dream comeback after a lot of time! It was surely something to remember with a record score of 264. He came in as a opener along with Ajinkya Rahane, as Shikhar Dhawan has been rested, and MS Dhoni too. So Rohit was pretty lucky about it.
The support went on decreasing on the other end, but Rohit Sharma was tough, and Virat too, they two shared a 200-run 3rd wicket partnership. And in the end, the last 10 overs were a treat to watch for the fans, as the batsman went on hitting. The total score went on to 404, which was unpredictable even with a run rate of 10/over in the last 10 overs.
The batsman broke the record for the highest score in ODIs being 219, by Virender Sehwag by 45 runs, unbelievable. Even the record of Shikhar Dhawan with 261 in domestic ODIs was broken!
He became the first person ever to score 2 double hundreds in ODIs! :D
