The highest individual score in ODI cricket was made by one and only Rohit Guru Nath Sharma. We people call him “The Hitman Sharma”. He made a mammoth 264 runs of 173 balls against Sri Lanka on 13th November, 2014, in Eden Garden, Kolkata.

I have no words for that innings he played. The Greatest of All the Time innings I have ever watched. The beautiful innings. The most amazing about that innings is the way he played the shots, the timings, the elegance.

So talking about that innings, Sri Lanka Toured India for five odi matches in 2014 and this the preparation for the upcoming World Cup which was held in Newzeland and Australia in 2015. Sri Lanka already Lost 3 matches and They have to show their best.

On the other hand Indian team is in good form, Rohit Sharma Came back from the thumb Injury in England and got the opportunity to play the game. He start slowly as he knows about the game where he got one chance when Parera dropped a catch when he is on 4 runs.

He manages to score a Half century on 72 balls and finally scores a brilliant 100

But after that no one knows what is going next neither Sri Lankan team nor the supporters of both the team. It was an old saying that “the calm before the storm”. After 100 runs Rohit Sharma takes another step and he is scoring runs as faster from a bullet trains.

He reaches 150 runs in just 125 balls, and from there every bowler comes he takes on remand and he is unstoppable. Soon he reaches 200 runs and became the First Ever player to score two double century in One Day Internationals, the previous one came against Australia. 

Everyone just keep quite and looking what is going on because Rohit is playing in another level no one cant believe what is going on. That time suddenly stop like that. After a moment He reaches 250 runs and became the highest ever Individual score in ODIs. He made sensational 264 runs including 33 fours and 9 sixes, Which is also a record for boundaries in one single innings. 

Because of this, India put a total of 404 runs on the board and Sri lanka team fails to score. And one Intresting thing the whole srilankan team made 260 runs which is 4 runs less than Rohit's 264.

The comeback is always better then setbacks that is what Rohit Sharma did….
