DHAKA: Indian batsman Rohit Sharma created the highest individual score with 264 runs in fourth one day international match against Sri Lanka Thursday.
Virender Sehwag previously held the record with 219 runs.
After 50-over the total score of India stood at 404 for 4 and Mathews of Sri Lanka bagged two wickets while Kulesekara and Eranga got one wicket each.
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.
