Rohit Sharma is the only batsman to have scored two double hundreds in ODI cricket and his 264 against Sri Lanka is the highest ODI score ever recorded.
His world record score of 264 came under threat during Martin Guptill’s unbeaten 237-run mayhem against West Indies in the ongoing World Cup and even though Rohit Sharma knows “records are there to be broken,” he wants the coveted feat to stay with him for some more time.
Having roared back to form with a classy century against Bangladesh, Rohit’s answer to questions posed by the scribes was pretty similar to the way he bats when in form — flowing and direct.
Asked if he was scared about Guptill breaking his record, the soft-spoken Rohit replied, “Records are there to be broken. I don’t wish that it is broken but every batsman wants to make a big score. It is not possible to make 200 every day. It’s a very tough job. Even when I made 264, I was told I should have made 300. People’s expectations are high. Even if you make 300, they expect 350. Cricket is moving to a different level.”
