Sharma’s destructive nature is best encapsulated in his three ODI double centuries, the most by any player in the format. The Mumbaikar’s innings of 264, achieved against Sri Lanka in Kolkata in 2014, is the highest individual score in ODI cricket.
Being well into his 30’s and with over 200 ODI games under his belt, many feel that Sharma may start to decline. However, any thoughts along these lines were put to bed during the 2019 World Cup.
The opener scored 648 runs, which included a record five centuries, at an average of 81, to become the tournament’s leading run-scorer. What is most impressive is the fact that Sharma scored those runs at a strike rate of almost 100. An incredible feat, but one which we have come to expect from such a talent.
