Mind blowing batting from Rohit Sharma and it has broken many records! India started off slow and were 89/2 at the end of 20 overs. But from there Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli contributed a 202-run stand and built the platform for a huge total. Rohit Sharma hit 33 boundaries and 9 sixes and there was no stopping him today. All in all a record breaking day for India and Rohit Sharma. His count of 33 fours is the highest by any one in a single innings in ODIs. Also a total of 42 boundaries (fours and sixes) is the highest by anyone. India have gone past the score of 400 fifth time now in ODIs. The last time India scored 400-plus against Sri Lanka they won by a very less margin or to be very precise by just one run.

Rohit gets out the last ball! Rohit charges down the track and lofts the full toss straight to long off where Jayawardene takes the catch. What an innings it has been! India finish on 404/5.
