Rohit Sharma hits 3rd double century in ODI Cricket

Hello Steemians,

Today, I would like to provide some detailed information about Indian Cricket team member Rohit Sharma who is in the news again today as he scored his 3rd double century in One Day International Cricket match against Sri Lanka being played at Mohali, India.

He is currently captaining the ODI side in the 3 match series and in today's match (second of the three matches), he has amassed 208 runs in 153 balls, thus scoring his 3rd double century in ODI's.

It's always known that Rohit once crosses 100 runs, he will always score big and today's instance proved that again. He has scored 16 centuries as of today and 5 of which are of 150 or more scores.

There are a total of 7 double centuries scored by 5 different people, out of which, 3 are from Rohit Sharma only!!

Some other records held by Rohit Sharma:

He is second Indian to score centuries across all 3 formats (Tests, ODI's and T20's).

His second double century score of 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014 is the highest individual score in ODI's

He is also the first captain of a ODI team to score a double century

He is the first captain of an IPL team who lead his team to 3 IPL titles leading Mumbai Indians

As of 2015, Forbes list of "Top 100 celebrities in India" places him 8th in fame and 46th in terms of income

That’s some serious ball hitting skills

Yes, his 5 150+ scores confirms that. Good to see him scoring runs. He was once regarded as an ideal replacement for either Sachin Tendulkar or Rahul Dravid because of his wristy shots.
