Rohit Sharma celebrate after 200

Rohit Sharma turned on the show at Mohali on Wednesday. It was another exciting day for Indian cricket as the opening batsman, who has taken over the captaincy role from Virat Kohli for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, went on to score his third ODI double century. With his effort, Sharma also became the first captain to score an ODI double century as captain.
After getting out without getting any runs on the board in Dharamsala, the Indian captain came to Mohali with intent. The right-hand batsman paced his innings perfectly. He started slow and got himself settled on the pitch. He took his time to reach his 16th hundred and then started accelerating the innings.
Sharma took Suranga Lakmal to the cleaners and struck him for four consecutive sixes in an over. In his innings of 208* runs, the batsman hit 13 sixes and 12 fours.
