------------------------------------------------
The Indian team gives Rohit Sharma a guard of honour as he walks back with the highest ODI score ever, and the second-highest List A score, becoming the only man to make two ODI double-centuries. He was on 4 off 16 when he was dropped by Thisara Perera. He got to his 50 off 72, 100 off 100, 150 off 125, 200 off 151 and 250 off 166. Phew. He was coming back from a finger injury sustained in England in August. His timing with the bat is out of this world, but his timing with injuries is pretty bad. There were questions whether Ajinkya Rahane, who hadn't done badly at all with a century in England, should replace him as opener. Talk about reclaiming your spot.

| Rohit Sharma created history, becoming the first man ever to smash two double centuries in ODIs. |

एक और अनोखा रिकॉर्ड जिसपर किसी का ध्यान ही नही गया. भारत के तीन बल्लेबाजों ने दोहरा शतक बनाया है और तीनो बार भारत ने मैच १५३ रनों से जीता.
रोहित शर्मा की धमाकेदार पारी के दम पर भारत ने 405 रनों का पहाड़ जैसा लक्ष्य खड़ा किया और भारत ने ये मैच 153 रनों से जीत लिया
पहले जब सचिन तेंदुलकर ने २०० रन बनाये थे तब भी भारत ने मैच 153 रनों से जीताः
24 फरवरी 2010 को ग्वालियर में सचिन तेंदुलकर ने उस दौरान की सबसे बड़ी वनडे पारी खेली थी। मास्टर ब्लास्टर ने पहली बार वनडे क्रिकेट में 200 का आंकड़ा छूने का कारनामा किया था। भारत ने वो मुकाबला 153 रनों से जीता था।
सहवाग ने किया था डबल धमाल और भारत ने मैच 153 रनों से जीताः
वीरेंद्र सहवाग ने सचिन के दोहरे शतक के एक साल बाद उस रिकॉर्ड को ध्वस्त कर दिया। सहवाग ने 8 दिसंबर 2011 को वेस्टइंडीज के खिलाफ 219 रनों की ऐतिहासिक पारी खेली और नया रिकॉर्ड बना दिया। भारत ने ये मैच भी 153 रनों से ही जीता।
और आज फिर से रोहित का सबसे बड़ा दोहरा शतक, भारत ने फिर 153 रनों से मैच जीताः
तीसरी बार जब सबसे बड़े वनडे स्कोर का रिकॉर्ड कल कोलकाता के ईडेन गार्डन पर बना तो इसे अंजाम दिया रोहित शर्मा ने, जो कि पहले भी एक दोहरा शतक लगा चुके थे। रोहित ने 264 रनों की पारी खेलकर फिर नया विश्व रिकॉर्ड बना दिया। दिलचस्प बात ये रही कि भारत ने फिर ये मैच 153 रनों से ही जीता।
