#2 Rohit Sharma 264 v Sri Lanka 251/10, Kolkata, 2014

It was seriously an innings for ages. One of the best and has been etched in everyone's mind whoever witnessed it.
Rohit Sharma was coming back from an injury and it was vital for him to perform to get back his place in the team. The Sri Lankan team didn't know what was coming as they were taken out of the park by the sheer audacity of Rohit Sharma.
He went onto score his second double-hundred, an unmatchable 264 runs off 173 balls and brought the world to its feet to applaud his masterclass innings. India went onto score 404/ 5 in their allotted 50 overs.
In reply, the Sri Lankan innings never got off to the start they needed to chase this mammoth total. They kept losing wickets and were eventually bowled out for 251 runs, 13 short of Rohit's score of 264.
