#7 India vs Sri Lanka - 2014 ODI

Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma scored an incredible 264 against Sri Lanka

This is perhaps the most one-sided match present in this list but it is a match that went into the history books and in all likelihood will remain there for a long time. It was a match that witnessed one man score 264 runs in a 50-overs game. The opposition in reply managed to score only 251 which highlights India's dominance.

Initially struggling at 4 from 16, Rohit was handed a lifeline when Thisara Perera dropped him. And when you drop Rohit, he makes you pay as he showcased that evening by hitting a whooping 33 fours and 9 sixes en route to his mammoth double hundred in front of an awestruck Eden Gardens crowd.

He became the first and only batsman to register two double centuries in ODI cricket to help India go past 400. The contest was virtually dead when Sri Lanka lost their first four wickets with just 48 on the board by the 10th over.
