This list compiles the highest individual scores achieved by batsmen in One Day International (ODI) cricket matches. It features remarkable innings such as Rohit Sharma's record-breaking 264 and Martin Guptill's unbeaten 237*. These performances highlight the pinnacle of batting excellence in the 50-over format.
The landscape of One Day International (ODI) cricket has been dramatically reshaped by a select group of batsmen achieving the monumental feat of scoring a double century. Once considered mythical, these innings now stand as a testament to evolving batting techniques, improved fitness, and more aggressive playing styles. Each double hundred is not just a personal record but often a match-winning performance, leaving an indelible mark on the sport's history and captivating fans globally. At the pinnacle of this exclusive club stands Rohit Sharma, whose astonishing 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014 remains the highest individual score in ODI history. This innings showcased an unparalleled blend of power and precision. Following closely is Martin Guptill's unbeaten 237* against West Indies in the 2015 World Cup, a knock epitomizing aggressive batting on the biggest stage. Chris Gayle's equally destructive 215, also from the 2015 World Cup, further cemented his legacy as one of the format's most fearsome hitters. These performances are about dominating opposition attacks and dictating game flow. The increasing frequency of double centuries reflects a significant shift in ODI cricket dynamics. Flatter pitches, larger boundaries, and the pervasive influence of Twenty20 cricket encourage batsmen to adopt a more fearless approach. Fakhar Zaman's unbeaten 210* against Zimbabwe in 2018 and Ishan Kishan's rapid 210 against Bangladesh in 2022 are prime examples of this modern aggression, demonstrating that even younger players are capable of reaching extraordinary heights. These innings not only entertain but also push the boundaries of what is achievable in the 50-over format.
