Dropped on 4, went on to make 264

Rohit Sharma h smashed Sri Lankan bowlers to all corners of ground during that match which was played at iconic Eden Gardens. However, before 'Hitman'could register what is w a world record score in ODI cricket, he was given a lifeline early on. That's right. stylish opening batsman was dropped when he was batting on 4 Thisara Perera who was stationed at third man off Shaminda Eranga. Unfortunately, for Lankans, y h clue back n about how costly it was going to prove for m. Mumbai batsman obliged by dealing in boundaries as Sri Lankan bowlers failed to rediscover ir rhythm. Sharma went on to score a 173-ball 264 at a strike rate of 152.60 including 33 boundaries and nine maximums. He was dismissed on final ball of innings. neless, it was too late by n as India h posted a mammoth score of 404/5 on board. It proved to be more than eugh as visitors were bundled out for 251 in 44th over as Men In Blue registered a comprehensive 153-run win.
