**Mumbai, India** – Rohit Gurunath Sharma, the celebrated Indian batsman and captain, holds a seemingly insurmountable world record in One Day International (ODI) cricket: three double centuries. Experts believe this achievement is unlikely to be broken for at least a century.

The 37-year-old, currently ranked the world’s number two ODI batsman, is considered one of the greatest ODI players of all time. His incredible ability to hit boundaries earned him the moniker “Hitman.”

His record-breaking scores include:

* **209 runs against Australia in Bengaluru (2013):** This stunning innings, achieved in just 158 balls, included 12 fours and 16 sixes, leading India to a 57-run victory.
* **264 runs against Sri Lanka in Kolkata (2014):** This record-breaking score, his second double century, remains unmatched. He smashed 33 fours and 9 sixes in 264 runs, 186 of which came from boundaries alone, securing a 153-run win for India.
* **208* runs against Sri Lanka in Mohali (2017):** His third double century, an unbeaten knock, showcased his incredible power hitting. He accelerated dramatically in the second half of his innings, scoring his second hundred in just 36 balls.

Rohit Sharma’s overall ODI career is equally impressive. In 267 matches, he has amassed 10,987 runs at an average of 49.26, including 32 centuries and 57 half-centuries.

His remarkable achievements solidify his place as a cricketing legend and a crucial asset to the Indian team. The sheer dominance displayed in his three double centuries suggests that his record may well stand as a testament to his exceptional talent for many years to come.
