Internet Desk: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has shown the world why he is considered one of the finest modern day openers in ODI cricket after he scored a hat-trick of double century today.
While Rohit holds the world record score of 264 versus Sri Lanka in Kolkata, he scored his first ever double ton — 209 against Australia in Bengaluru, back in 2013.
In all, seven double hundred have been scored in ODIs and three belong to the stylish Mumbaikar.
The other four double hundreds have been hit by Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Martin Guptill and Chris Gayle.
