Rohit Sharma holds the record of most double centuries in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). The Indian opener has three double hundreds against his name. The first of his three big knocks came against Australia on this very day back in 2013 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. At that time, Rohit became only the third batsman to score a double century in ODIs when he joined compatriots Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. Rohit Sharma's Medical Report Says He Could Be in Danger of Injuring Himself Again, Says Ravi Shastri.

Since then, Rohit has smashed two more double hundreds, both against Sri Lanka. While he hit 264- the highest score by a batsman in ODIs- in 2014 in Kolkata, in 2017 he slammed unbeaten 208 in Mohali. Meanwhile, #Hitman, as Rohit is fondly called, became one of the trending topics on Twitter as the netizens recalled his mammoth knock.
