On November 13, 2014, star Indian opener Rohit Sharma registered the highest-ever individual score in One-Day Internationals. Rohit smashed 264 against Sri Lanka at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata and etched his name in record books.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a link of Rohit’s historical knock on their official Twitter handle.
“On this day in 2014, Rohit Sharma created history by smashing 264 – the highest individual score in the ODIs. A knock that included 33 fours and 9 sixes #TeamIndia. Watch that splendid knock here,” the BCCI tweeted.
The right-handed batsman faced 173 balls during his marathon innings in which he smashed 33 fours and nine sixes. He started slowly as he reached the 50-run mark in 72 balls. However, after that, he changed gears to bring up next fifty off just 28 balls. His next 50 runs – which took his score from 100 to 150 – came in 25 balls and he reached his double century off 151 balls.
