Ind vs Win: With the most double hundreds in ODI, Rohit Sharma also becomes the most 150 runs scorer
Indian skipper Virat Kohli and opening batsman Rohit Sharma made a record-breaking partnership of 246 runs while chasing the score of 323 against Windies. In the first inning, Windies set the target of 323 for team India with the help of Shimron Hetmyer's ton.
Now when the team India came to chase the score they lost their first wicket too early in the form of Shikhar Dhawan who got out on 4 runs. However, after that skipper, Virat Kohli entered the ground and set a record-breaking partnership with Rohit Sharma. Their 246 runs record-breaking partnership helped the team Indian to achieve the target in just 42 overs.
