Win #50 - Double Double at Kolkata

Rohit and double. They seem  to like each other.When the Sri Lankan team agreed to  come to India as replacement for the cancelled West Indies tour, little did they know they would be part of history. Eden Gardens was the venue where Rohit scored his double double. 264 with 33 boundaries and nine sixes studded the knock that finished of the last ball of the over.

After his earlier double, Rohit had again gone into a shell where there were low scores continually, once again giving voice to his critics. Question marks were raised whether he should go back to middle order and give way to  Rahane. Rohit had other ideas and implemented  all of them against the hapless attack.

Sri Lanka were demoralized after the knock - the Indian bowlers had more than 400 runs in the bank and a tired batting team. The result was a 150 runs win.
