Top 5 individual scores in India- Sri Lanka ODIs

#1 Rohit Sharma- 264

Rohit Sharma's 264 is yet to be bettered by any batsman in ODI Cricket

Who can forget this gem of a knock by Rohit Sharma at the Eden Gardens in 2014? After being out of the playing XI for the first three ODIs, Sharma replaced Shikhar Dhawan for the fourth ODI.

Sharma played with composure and was hit some terrific shots with sublime timing, footwork, and manoeuvring of the wrists as he reached his century.

However, India's no.45 cranked up his game after reaching the three-figure mark and began to bat aggressively, toying with the Sri Lankan bowlers and smashing boundaries in quick succession.

With a fine boundary on the off-side, Rohit Sharma became the first player to score two double centuries in ODIs. Sharma’s batting partner on the other end Robin Uthappa who also needed to perform in order to make himself a regular in the team was playing the perfect team game by allowing Rohit to take most of the strike to take India to a strong total.

Uthappa’s presence paid off as Sharma went on to score 264 from just 173 deliveries - the highest score in ODI cricket.

India ended their innings at 404/5. In reply, the fifties from Angelo Matthews and Lahiru Thirimanne could take the visitors to only 253 as India won by 151 runs. Unsurprisingly, Rohit Sharma was adjudged the Man of the Match for his superb effort which is yet to be bettered.
