Rohit Sharma Becomes First Indian To Register Six 150-Plus ODI Scores

Written by Vipin Darwade

Rohit Sharma, who scored a stunning 117-ball 152 in a winning cause for India against the West Indies at the Barsapara Cricket Ground in Guwahati on Sunday, has achieved a feat no other batsman ever has. In India’s eight-wicket victory against the Windies, the Indian vice-captain became the first batsman in the world to register six 150-plus scores in ODI cricket.

Rohit Sharma has 20 centuries to his name in the 189 ODI matches he has played so far. And his six 150-plus scores are:
1. 209 versus Australia in Bangalore back in November 2013.
2. 264 versus Sri Lanka in Kolkata in November 2014.
3. 150 versus South Africa in Kanpur in October 2015.
4. 171* versus Australia in Perth in January 2016
5. 208* versus Sri Lanka in Mohali in December 2017
6. 152* versus the West Indies in Guwahati in October 2018

Sachin Tendulkar, who is second on the list, has registered five 150-plus scores.

The next ODI will be held in Vizag on October 24.
