He smacked the Australian bowlers in all parts of the ground and helped India post a mammoth total of 383 for 6 in their quota of 50 overs. The Indian cricket team went on to win that series-deciding encounter by a margin of 57 runs. During that seven-match ODI series against Australia at home, Rohit looked in a tremendous form having scored a total of 491 runs with a superlative average of 122. 

2. Rohit Sharma 264 vs Sri Lanka

The cricket updates went viral and the experts were stunned when Rohit Sharma smacked a colossal innings of 264 runs off 173 deliveries against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It was in 2014 when the current Indian captain scored his second double hundred in the 50-overs format of the game. Rohit blasted a total of 33 fours and 9 sixes and after that knock he was famously called the 'Hitman of Cricket'. On the back of his staggering efforts India managed to register a mighty total of 404 for 5 in their 50 overs. Team India ended up winning that game by a massive margin of 153 runs. 

3. Rohit Sharma 208* vs Sri Lanka

While captaining the Indian team in the three-match ODI series at home against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma became the first batsman to score as many as three double hundreds in the history of ODI cricket. During the second ODI match at the PCA Stadium in Mohali, the senior Indian opener achieved the rare feat. After India ended up losing the first ODI match at home in a really disappointing manner, Rohit led his side from the front having played an exceptional unbeaten innings of 208 runs off 153 balls that included as many as 13 fours and 12 sixes. 

While talking about Rohit Sharma total runs in the history of the Indian Premier League, he has scored 6560 runs at a strike-rate of 130.78 that comprises of 42 half-centuries and 2 hundreds. However, he is very much behind in the list of most runs in IPL 2024, having scored 349 runs from 13 games.
