Emotions galore! Rohit Sharma reacts during his epic double century vs Sri Lanka.
Rohit
Sharma created history, becoming the first man ever to smash two double
centuries in ODIs. Rohit got his second double ton vs Sri Lanka in Eden
Gardens on Thursday. His first (209) came against Australia in
Bangalore on November 3, 2013. Rohit also surpassed Virender Sehwag's
219 to become the highest-scorer in ODIs. Rohit was dismissed off the
final delivery for 264, as India finished on 404/5 and eventually won
the match by 153 runs. Rohit's scintillating essay included 33 fours and
9 sixes.
Rohit
survived an early dropped chance when he was on 4 and capitalised well
to make his way into the record books. He reached the 200-run mark off
151 balls. "I was not tired at all. Coming after a two-month break, I
was determined. Once I crossed 50, I had to get a century," Rohit said
in a chat.
