Rohit Sharma’s individual score of 264 runs in an inning of ODI

It was a historical moment for the game of cricket when senior Indian batter and current skipper Rohit Sharma smashed 264 runs against the Sri Lankan team in a One-Day international match. Before that, only Rohit himself alongside Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar scored a double century in an ODI inning.

It is very tough for Babar and even other popular batters in World cricket to break this mammoth record of Rohit Sharma. Even it is hard for them to come a bit closer to this inning of the Indian skipper as he broke many established records that day with this double-centurion inning. Coming back to Pakistani skipper, then he hasn’t scored a double century in Test cricket though. His highest individual score in the longest format of the game.

Babar is known for setting new records with his every inning in international cricket. But the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma comes up with some unique and unbreakable records when he is in his zone during any match. A similar record is there on the credit of Rohit Sharma which he made during his historic 264-run knock against Sri Lanka.

Rohit Sharma scored 186 runs only with the boundaries during that double century scored by him. So, it is some record quite a bit unimaginable to touch, not only for Babar Azam, even any renowned batter in the World cricket during the current time will find it hard to touch this mark.

Indian skipper is famously known as a “hitman” for his excellent batting capabilities and smashing skills. He has a knack for smashing the ball out of the boundary several times in the match when he is on his day in the middle. He had broken the record of maximum sixes in an ODI inning during his remarkable knock of 264 runs against Sri Lanka in 2014.

Although, Pakistani batter Fakhar Zaman and New Zealand veteran Martin Guptill later broke this record. But apart from this, Rohit has the maximum number of sixes to his name in international cricket among all the current cricketers. He is only behind the former batting legend of West Indies, Chris Gayle in terms of hitting the highest number of Sixes.

Rohit has smashed 477 sixes in international cricket, and none of the current cricketers has even touched the 400-mark in terms of hitting sixes in international cricket. So, it is quite impossible for Babar to touch this milestone set by Rohit Sharma.
