Indian opener Rohit Sharma, who recently took over the ODI and T20 captaincy from Virat Kohli, made history on this day four years ago after smashing his third double hundred in ODIs. Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag were the only Indian batters to achieve the feat previously, and Rohit went hammer and tongs to join the elite club. He is also the only one to score three double centuries in ODIs till date. Relive the six-laden knock that left Sri Lanka in tatters and the world in awe of Rohitβs pyrotechnics.
