He was the only batsman with two scores of 200-plus in ODIs. On Wednesday, Sri Lanka's nightmare from 2014 when Rohit Sharma hit the world's highest individual score of 264 returned when the explosive opener smashed 208 in the second ODI to add to his tally of double centuries. India manahed to set a target of 393.
Captaining the side in the absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit's performance was under the scanner - especially after a diabolical batting collapse in the first ODI in Dharamsala. More than making up for the nightmare in the hills, Rohit unleashed batting mayhem after Sri Lanka opted to field at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium.
Going at a strike rate of 135.94, Rohit got off to a steady start with Shikhar Dhawan. The duo brought up India's first 100 runs in the 20th over with Dhawan doing bulk of the scoring. The Delhi batsman was also the first to reach fifty - off 47 balls. He however fell two overs later - allowing Rohit to take over.
The Mumbai batsman first brought up his fifty off 65 balls - courtesy nine fours and a solitary six. Soon after, he switched gears and batting with young Sheryas Iyer, pulverised Sri Lankan bowlers with carefree aggression. He brought up his 16th ODI ton as India captain off 115 balls
