Rohit Sharma broke and established many new records during his innings of 264. Here are some of them:

• On 102 he made his highest score against Sri Lanka, expunging unbeaten 101 at Bulawayo in 2010.

• On 151 he made the highest individual score at Eden Gardens, bettering Gautam Gambhir’s unbeaten 150 in 2009 also against Sri Lanka.

• On 184 he surpassed the highest score by an Indian batsman against Sri Lanka. Sourav Ganguly at Taunton in 1999 and MS Dhoni at Jaipur in 2005-06 had made 183.

• On 190 he established the highest individual score in India-Sri Lanka ODIs, beating Sanath Jayasuriya’s 189 at Sharjah in 2000.

• On 200 he became the first player to score two double centuries in ODIs.

• On 210 he surpassed his personal best score in ODIs, beating 209 he made against Australia at Bengaluru in 2013.

• On 220, he established the highest individual score in ODIs, obliterating Virender Sehwag’s 219 against West Indies at Indore in 2011.

• On 249, he made the highest score by an Indian batsman in List A matches, beating Shikhar Dhawan’s 248 for India A against South Africa at Centurion in 2013.

• On 264, he ended with the second highest score by any batsman in List A matches after Ally Brown’s 268 for Surrey against Glamorgan at The Oval in 2002.

Apart from the above mentioned records, Rohit now also has the following records on his name:

• Most boundary fours (33) in a ODI (Sehwag and Tendulkar had hit 25 fours each during their double centuries).

• Most boundaries (fours & sixes) (42) in a ODI. Sehwag had hit 32 boundaries (25 fours and 7 sixes) during his 219.

• Most runs in boundaries in a ODI (186). Shane Watson had scored 150 runs in boundaries during his 185* vs Bangladesh at Mirpur in 2011.

• Most balls (173) faced by a batsman in a 50-over ODI. Canada’s Ashish Bagai had played 172 balls (while scoring 137*) against Scotland in 2007. 

India ended with a total of 404 for five. This was fifth time India crossed 400 in a ODI. No other side has done so more than twice.

The total is the highest by any side at Eden Gandens by a long distance. India’s 317 for three also against Sri Lanka in 2009 was the previous highest.

Sri Lanka became the second side to concede a total of 400 on two occasions, joining the level with South Africa. Incidentally on both occasions, Sri Lanka were at the receiving end against India.

India won the match by 153 runs. This was the fifth time India beat Sri Lanka by a margin of 150 runs or more. This was also the second such instance in this series. At Cuttack India had beaten Sri Lanka by 169 runs.

Rohit Sharma provided the third instance of an Indian batsman outscoring the entire opposition (in an all-out innings). Sachin Tendulkar vs Namibia at Pietermaritzburg in 2003 and Yuvraj Singh vs Bangladesh at Dhaka also in 2003 are the other Indians to do so. (Mohammad Kaif at Harare in 2005 scored as many runs as Zimbabwe).

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’

As the longest serving and illustrious cricketer of modern times — 199 Tests in 24 years of Test cricket — Sachin Tendulkar has had the pleasure of having more teammates than any of his contemporaries such as Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Brian Lara. (Also Read:  Sachin Tendulkar's 200 facts ) Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 against Pakistan and hence held a six-year lead over the Australian Ponting and South African Kallis and almost a seven-year lead against fellow Indian middle order batsman Dravid. He began his international career one year before Lara. Set to play his 200th and farewell Test at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday, Tendulkar added two more teammates in Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma and Bengal’s Mohammad Shami who were capped against the West Indies last week at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This took his teammates tally to 110 teammates, one behind England’s Frank Woolley (111 in 64 Tests) and seven behind England’s Graham Gooch (118

Propelled by Rohit Sharma’s magnificent double-century, India marched to a 153-run win in Kolkata. While Eden Gardens celebrated 150 years, Rohit lit-up the stadium with a well paced 264 off 173 to make the occasion memorable. In doing so, he etched his name in the history books by posting the highest individual score in ODI cricket and became the only batsman to post two double hundreds in the 50-over format till date. It was breathtaking knock by the opener that set-up the match for India. The hosts then bowled the visitors out for 251 to take a 4-0 lead in the series.  (Also Read:  Rohit Sharma 264 Runs - Stats: India vs Sri Lanka, 4th ODI ) Post by Indian Cricket Team Updates .
