The number of double centuries registered by Rohit Sharma in ODI cricket, when four others — Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Chris Gayle and Martin Guptill — could manage just one each!

Incidentally, as on date, 22 double centuries have been recorded in List A cricket (limited-over games of at least 40 or more overs) by 19 batsmen. Rohit Sharma is the only one to do it thrice, followed by Surrey’s Alistair Brown, who has done so on two occasions!

The table below provides details of Rohit Sharma’s three ODI double centuries:

His 209 against Australia at Bangalore on November 2, 2013

 

His 264 against Sri Lanka at Kolkata on November 13, 2014

 

His unbeaten 208 against Sri Lanka at Mohali on December 13, 2017
