Rohit Sharma scored a blistering 264 off 173 balls in the 4th ODI between India and Sri Lanka. He broke the previous record for highest score in an ODI which was Virender Sehwag’s 219. India has already won the 5-match series and is placed at the top of the ICC ODI team rankings. Doesn’t it all seem like a dream for any batsman?
Here’s what Twitter users had to say about Rohit’s amazing achievement.
