5 Current Batsmen Who Can Break Rohit Sharma's Record Of Highest Individual ODI Score

Rohit Sharma is considered to be one of the top limited-overs players of all time and one of the reasons behind always is going to be his unbelievable record of highest individual ODI score. His 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014 is expected to be a score to beat for the ages as no other cricketer has gone near the score in the last seven years.

There are only a few cricketers who have made it possible to score big double hundreds and it is one of the toughest tasks as well. Rohit hit a tally of 33 fours and 9 sixes in his innings and his progression after scoring the century to the double hundred was scintillating as well. It is time to look at 5 current batsmen who can break Rohit Sharma’s record of highest individual ODI score.

5 Current Batsmen Who Can Break Rohit Sharma’s Record Of Highest Individual ODI Score

Martin Guptill:

Martin Guptill set the stage on fire with some exciting knocks in the recently concluded T20 World cup 2021. The New Zealand opener has been one of the best strikers of the cricket ball in the limited-overs format and his numbers in the ODI format are immaculate as well.

The 35-year-old hit a 237 run knock in the 2015 World cup which is still the second-highest individual score in 50 over format. He is very tough to stop when he starts going after the bowlers and is one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball. He definitely has got the goods still in him to take over Rohit Sharma’s ODI record.

Jos Buttler:

Jos Buttler had a fantastic T20 World cup 2021 for England recently and single-handedly won games for the side with his excellent century against Sri Lanka in the super 12 stages. Buttler is one of the best in the business in the shorter formats and he is yet to unleash his full potential in the 50 over format.

The right-hander can hit the big sixes at will and is very powerful in terms of clearing the long boundaries. He is also a 360-degree player and will be very dangerous if he can find a place at the top of the order for England. He is one of the top contenders to break the record of Rohit Sharma.

David Warner:

David Warner showed why he is rated one of the best in limited-overs cricket as he showed brilliant consistency towards the latter part of the T20 World cup. He contributed in every crunch game for Australia and was adjudged the man of the tournament as well. Warner is an excellent player in all the formats of the game.

With an average of 45.5 and a strike rate of 95.55, Warner has the highest score of 179 in ODIs and he will definitely be looking to break Rohit Sharma’s record. The left-hander has the ability to play the long innings and the 35-year-old will be looking to make a big mark before his retirement.

Quinton De Kock:

Quinton De Kock is considered as one of the top white-ball format players going around and he can make a big impact for any side. The South African wicketkeeper-batsman might have not had the best of the T20 World cup 2021 but is still an excellent player and will make a comeback soon.

De Kock’s average of 45 and a strike rate of 95.5 in ODI cricket is stunning for a player who plays all the formats consistently for the Proteas and he has the capability to break Rohit Sharma’s record.

Fakhar Zaman:

Fakhar Zaman was expected to be Pakistan’s X factor player in the T20 World cup 2021 which did not happen as he looked out of socks. He did not get much chance with the bat as the likes of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam dominated the batting.

Zaman has already scored a double century in ODIs and he has the ability to use his long handles. He recently played a marvellous knock of 193 against South Africa when all the odds were not in favour of Pakistan’s win and almost got the side through. He can definitely break the record of Rohit Sharma if he gets on to a purple patch.
