WATCH:
India boast an illustrious list of batsmen who have breached the 200-run mark in ODIs.
Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary master blaster, was the first to achieve this feat, scoring an unbeaten 200 against South Africa in 2010.
Virender Sehwag followed suit, smashing 219 against the West Indies in 2011.
However, it is Rohit Sharma who holds the distinction of scoring the most double centuries in ODIs. The prolific opener has three such scores to his name: 209 against Australia in 2013, a record-breaking 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014, and an unbeaten 208 against Sri Lanka in 2017.
