With his knock of 208 in Mohali, Rohit also became the 3rd player to score the most number of 150s in ODI cricket drawing level with Sachin Tendulkar and David Warner. Previously, Sachin Tendulkar was the only player to have scored most number of 150s in ODIs having scored 5.

Earlier in January this year, David Warner scored 179 against Pakistan equalling Sachin's record. Later, Rohit equaled the record after scoring his 3rd double hundred in ODIs this year. West Indies batsman Chris Gayle and Sri Lankan great Sanath Jayasuriya come 2nd on the list with four 150+ scores each.

Rohit Sharma's scores of 150 or more in ODIs have each came in five consecutive years. His 150+ scores are 209 v Australia in 2013, 264 v Sri Lanka in 2014, 150 v South Africa in 2015, 171 v Australia in 2016 and 208 v Sri Lanka in 2017. Interestingly, India has lost on both the occasions when he has not been able to convert his 150 into 200.
