Rohit became the first batsman to score two ODI double-centuries, surpassing Virender Sehwag’s previous record of 219.

He was dismissed off the final ball of the innings before India bowled Sri Lanka out for 251 to seal a 153-run victory.

Rohit was given an early lifeline when Thisara Perera dropped him on four. He made Sri Lanka pay dearly, racing from 200 to 250 in just 15 balls.

Remarkably, Rohit scored more runs on his own than Sri Lanka’s entire team, with his 264 exceeding the visitors’ total by 13 runs.
