New DelhiYou must have seen charisma happening on the field many times, sometimes with the bat and sometimes with the ball, today we will talk about that charisma which was witnessed in Eden Garden, Kolkata. 13, November 2014 – is a day with which every Indian cricket fan has special memories. One of India's greatest batsmen, Rohit Sharma played a record-breaking inning of 264 runs against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
This is the highest individual score in ODIs and to be honest, it doesn't seem possible even after so many years. That day Rohit Sharma was on a different level. He started slow, took his time and then suddenly Rohit changed gears. No one could have even imagined what happened next.
Rohit Sharma was named Hitman
Rohit's innings played 10 years ago was full of amazing shots. Be it his sharp cuts, strong pulls, or his lofted drives. He scored his historic score of 264 runs in just 173 balls, hitting 33 fours and 9 sixes. It has been 10 years since Rohit accomplished this feat. But till now no one has been able to break his record of the highest individual score in ODI. Rohit is also the batsman who has scored the maximum number of 3 double centuries in ODIs. After this inning, Rohit started being called 'Hitman' and he became the uncrowned king of the white ball.
Big win due to Rohit's 'run' game
This batsman, who had become a hitman from Rohit Sharma, had thrashed all the Sri Lankan bowlers. The bowlers of the opposing team had no answer to Hitman's shots. On the basis of this explosive innings of Rohit, India made a huge score of 404/5. Chasing the huge target of 405 runs was not an easy task. Even today, such big scores are rarely scored in ODIs. This huge total put pressure on Sri Lanka from the very beginning, as a result of which the visiting team was all out for 251 runs in 43.1 overs and India won the match by 153 runs. Fans still remember this great inning of Rohit Sharma.
