India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 2nd ODI: Hits and misses

<p>

Hit: Rohit Sharma

<p>

Rohit Sharma, who made a nightmarish debut as India skipper on Sunday, turned the tide in his favour, three days later, by playing a Homeric inning of 208* to lead the Men in Blue to a colossal total of 392/4 in 50 overs at Mohali.

Cricket is all about learning from your past mistakes and Rohit took lessons from the embarrassment in Dharamshala and led from the front as he became the second captain after Virender Sehwag (219) to score a double ton in the history of cricket.

The Hitman's inning was studded with 13 fours and 12 sixes as he became the first man to hit three double hundred in ODI cricket.

Fitting innings to notch up his first win as a captain!
