Indian captain Rohit Sharma has always been among the most efficient batters in modern-day cricket. The latter is known for his aggressive intent and smashing the bowlers to all parts of the ground from the first ball. Rohit’s career hit a new high when he began to open the innings from 2013. The latter who was once struggling to score runs in the middle order turned on his beast mode after starting to take on the bowlers from the first ball.
Rohit Sharma is the only batter to smash three double-hundreds in the history of ODI cricket. The latter achieved double centuries against Australia and Sri Lanka respectively. Rohit’s one such knock came on November 13, 2014 when put up an absolute carnage for the Sri Lankan bowlers and achieved his highest ODI individual score of 264 runs off 173 balls which included 33 fours and nine sixes. This knock is one of the best played by any batter in international cricket and set up new standards of power hitting.
