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

10 years have passed, many big batsmen have come and gone, but no one has been able to break the record of 264 runs in ODIs so far. Fans still remember the day when “Sharma ji’s son” had become a storm on the field.

Asia cup 2025 ind vs sl: In the last Super-4 match of Asia Cup 2025, there was an incident that surprised all the audience sitting on the field and TV. Sri Lanka’s team was chasing the target, when Pathum Nisanka’s strong shot went straight to Akshar Patel standing on long-on. The catch looked easy, the ball came into the hands of the letter, but he failed to catch it and the ball slipped from his hands and crossed the boundary line. Usually in such a situation it is considered a “six”, but the umpire surprised everyone and called it a “dead-ball”.

How did the whole incident happen?

India’s spinner Varun Chakraborty was bowling and Nisanka was on strike. He played a powerful shot, which went towards long-on. Akshar Patel was in the position and could catch the catch, but the catch dripping from him and the ball went beyond the direct boundary line. The Sri Lankan players and the audience started celebrating as a six, but then the umpire Ijatullah Saki indicated “dead-ball” instead of pointing the six.

After all, why the decision of dead-ball was given?

The reason for this decision was another situation on the field. Indian opener Abhishek Sharma was injured at that time and was going out of the field. According to the rules, the game is not considered valid until a player crosses the boundary line completely and the replacement fielder comes on the field. That is, that delivery of the bowler was not officially valid.

In such a situation, the umpire declared the ball dead, using the technical rule correctly. This means that neither Nisanka got a six nor any run was added to Sri Lanka’s account.

Indian team gets relief, Sri Lanka disappointed

If that shot six was called six, the match could have turned. India’s grip weakened and Sri Lanka would get a big benefit, but the Indian team breathed a sigh of relief from the dead-ball decision. The same, Sri Lankan players and fans passed this decision, but according to the rules, the decision of the umpire was absolutely correct.

What does the law of cricket say?

It is clearly written in the rules of cricket that if a player has not completely gone out of the field and delivery is thrown at the same time, then that ball will not be considered valid. In such a situation, the result of the batsman’s shot and fielding is all canceled.
