On November 13, 2014, cricket history was rewritten in spectacular fashion as Rohit Sharma delivered a breathtaking performance, setting a record that remains untouched even 11 years later. Facing Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Rohit’s blistering 264 off 225 balls became the highest individual score ever in a One Day Inte?rnational (ODI), an achievement that astonished the cricketing world and showcased his incredible prowess with the bat. This historic knock outshone Sri? Lanka’s total score of 251, firmly establishing Rohit’s place in the annals of cricket history.

The explosive innings that set new benchmarks

In a display of skill and determination, Rohit smashed 9 sixes and 33 fours, taking India’s total to a formidable 404 for 5 in their 50 overs. Initially cautious, Rohit took time to find his rhythm after a comeback from injury but quickly accelerated towards the end of the innings. By the time India reached the 4?0th over, they stood at 275 for 3, and in the final 10 overs, the team added 129 runs—with Rohit alone contributing 110 in this period.

India’s commanding win as Sri Lanka falls short

Sri Lanka, tasked with chasing a daunting total, could only manage 251 runs before being bowled out, 13 runs shy of Rohit’s solo effort. India’s Dhawal Kulkarni led the charge with the ball, claiming 4 wic?kets for 35 runs in his 10 overs, ensuring India’s emphatic?? 153-run victory. This match marked Rohit’s second double-century in ODIs, having previously scored his first against Australia in Bengaluru in 2013.

On Thursday, Shubman Gill became the youngest batter to score a double century in ODI cricket and the fifth Indian to reach the landmark. Gill’s storming knock of 208 helped India defeat New Zealand by 12 runs.

There were only four Indian batters in the illustrious list before Gill, which included legendary Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.

Kishan made it to the list recently when India toured Bangladesh, as he to??uched the 200-run mark at t??he age of 24 and became the youngest cricketer to smash a double ton. But with his recent exploits, Gill broke the record and achieved the feat at just 23.

Despite his blistering knock, Kishan didn’t get as many chances in the team and questions were raised by a few former cricketers regarding the same. The wicket-keeper-batter was benched in the entire ODI series against Sri Lanka until he fina??lly got the chance in th?e first match against New Zealand.

Kishan was included in the playing eleven as a replacement for KL Rahul, who is unavailable for the series due to some personal reas??ons. In the series opener, Kishan was sent down the order to bat at no. 4.

Now, a video ha??s been released by the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) that shows Rohit and Ishan welcoming Shubman to the 200 club after the victory over New Zealand.

The conversation starts with Rohit lauding Gill for his knock and Ishan asking about the p??re-match routine of the Punjab lad. Furth??er in the video Indian skipper welcomes Gill to the 200 club.

At the end of the video, Rohit can be heard saying to Ishan why he hasn’t played even three matches post scoring a double ton in the 50-overs format, to which the latter replies, “brother you’re the captain”. And soon after Ishan’s witty response, all three in the frame burst into laughter.

“Ishan, yaar aapne 200 banake 3 match nahi khela. (Ishan, you didn’t play even three matches despite scoring a 200),” Rohit said.

“Bhaiyya captain toh aap ho (Brother, you are the captain),” replied Kishan.

It has been so enjoyable to see?? Shubman Gill batting in these last few games. The promise was impossible to miss but he has now?? married consistency to it. A 1000 runs in 19 innings is exceptional.

Most runs after 20 & 21 Inngs in ODIs are 1089 & 1090, so Gill will hold the record in next 2 inngs as well even if he gets out on ducks.#IndvsNZ #ShubmanGill
