Rohit Sharma owns the record for the most double tons in ODI history:

Rohit’s most recent ODI century came against Australia in Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium in January 2020. At the renowned Oval Stadium in September 2021 during a Test match against England, he scored his final century in international cricket.
