‘So Proud of You’: Sehwag, Sachin Celebrate Rohit’s 200 on Twitter

Here’s a look at how Twitterati reacted to Rohit Sharma’s double century in the second ODI against Sri Lanka.

Rohit Sharma enhanced his status as one of the finest limited-overs batsmen of his generation completing a hat-trick of double hundreds in one-day internationals.

While Rohit holds the world record score of 264, notched against Sri Lanka in Kolkata, he scored his first-ever double ton – 209 against Australia in Bengaluru, back in 2013.

In all, seven double hundreds have been scored in ODIs and three belong to the stylish Mumbaikar.

The other four double hundreds have been scored by Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Martin Guptill and Chris Gayle.

Rohit's 208* against Sri Lanka is the second highest individual score by a captain in ODIs with Sehwag's 219 against West Indies in Indore back in 2011 still toping the charts.

Rohit now has 16 hundreds from 173 ODIs with 6,417 runs to his name.

Here’s a look at how Twitterati reacted to Rohit Sharma’s big innings.

Just three batsmen in ODI history have it 10 sixes in an innings twice: AB de Villiers, Martin Guptill and Rohit Sharma (today). Rohit first to hit a dozen sixes twice. #IndvSL
