Rohit Sharma on Thursday created history by hitting the highest individual ODI score of 264 to power India to a 404 for five in fourth cricket one-dayer against Sri Lanka. Returning after a 10-week injury layoff, nothing went wrong for Sharma since he was dropped on four, as he paced his innings beautifully |
before exploding against the hapless looking Lankan attack, smashing 173-ball 264 studded with 33 boundaries and nine sixes here at the Eden Gardens.
Sharma batted full 50 overs and got out in the last ball of the innings with Lankan most experienced man Mahela Jayawardene catching him in the long off.
He received a guard of honour from his teammates while leaving the field at a venue, which is celebrating 150 years.
