13 November 2014… The day of the history of Indian cricket when the Eden Gardens of Kolkata saw a charisma that hardly anyone could repeat. What Rohit Sharma did against Sri Lanka that day became “impossible possible” in cricket books. The biggest personal score in ODI cricket is 264 runs, even today, he is recorded in his name, and it has been 10 years.
History created in Kolkata
In that match against Sri Lanka, India had come out to bat first. The beginning was slow, but Rohit Sharma started with patience and gradually pushed his innings forward. Once he caught the rhythm, every corner of the Eden Gardens resonated with the echo of “Hitman”.
Rohit hit 33 fours and 9 sixes in just 173 balls. Timing, strength and class were reflected in each of his shots.
Start of the name ‘Hitman’
Rohit Sharma got a new name in the cricket world since this innings. Rohit’s name became a symbol of his batting style. He made a balance by combining his timing with aggressive strokes, which did not give the opponents a chance to breathe. After that innings, Rohit Sharma became the unconscious king of white ball cricket. Not only this, he is the only batsman to score three double centuries in ODIs.
Rohit’s havoc on Sri Lanka
Thanks to this brilliant innings of Rohit Sharma, India scored a huge score of 404/5 in 50 overs. Sri Lankan bowler, whether Nuwan Kulasekara or Angelo Mathews, everyone looked meaningless in front of the batting of “Hitman”.
In response, the Sri Lankan team was all out for just 251 runs in 43.1 overs and India won the match by 153 runs.
Record is unwavering even today
