In One Day International (ODI) cricket, batsmen have scored 10 double centuries so far. Rohit Sharma holds the record for the highest individual score in ODIs with 264 runs. He also stands out as the only player to score three double centuries in this format. In this article, you can check the complete list of players who have scored double centuries in ODI cricket.
Reaching 200 runs in an ODI innings is a huge achievement. It requires a lot of skill, strength and focus from a batsman to reach this feat. Sachin Tendulkar became the first male cricketer to score 200 runs in ODIs by scoring an unbeaten 200 against South Africa in 2010.
Cricketers with the most double centuries in ODIs

Sachin Tendulkar
When you think of cricket records, the first name that comes to mind is Sachin Tendulkar. He has been a part of every major milestone in the game!
The Master Blaster became the first player to hit this particular double in international cricket. He had scored four double centuries in Tests, and in 2010, he became the first male batsman to cross 200 runs in ODIs.
That year worked like magic for him. He added two more double centuries in Tests. In total, Tendulkar scored six double centuries in red-ball cricket.
Sachin Tendulkar’s first double century:
- Test: 217 against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, 1999
- ODI: 200* against South Africa in Gwalior, 2010
Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag joined this list in 2011. This aggressive opener always likes to score big. And by big, we mean very big.
He has two triple centuries in Tests, which speaks for itself. Sehwag also holds India’s highest Test score – 319 against South Africa.
In addition, he has scored more than 200 runs in Tests. This gave him a total of six double centuries. Then, in 2011, he scored a double century in ODIs.
Virender Sehwag’s first double century:
- Test: 309 against Pakistan in Multan, 2004
- ODI: 219 against West Indies in Indore, 2011
Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle showed just as much hunger for big scores as Sehwag, maybe even more. Once he hit the ball cleanly, the bowlers had no chance.
People remember him mainly for T20 cricket, but Gayle dominated in Tests and ODIs as well.
He scored two triple centuries in Tests. Before that innings, he scored his first double century in 2002. Later, in 2015, he scored 200 runs in an ODI World Cup match, becoming the first player to do so in the tournament.
Chris Gayle’s first double century:
- Test: 204 against New Zealand at St. George’s, 2002
- ODI: Zimbabwe against Canberra, 2015
Rohit Sharma
If other players have mainly scored doubles in Tests, Rohit Sharma has done it in ODIs. He has scored 200 runs three times in this format – more than anyone else.
He is still the only player to have scored three double centuries in ODIs. His 264 against Sri Lanka is also the highest individual score in this format.
Rohit’s only Test double century came in 2019, when he scored 212 against South Africa in Ranchi.
Rohit Sharma’s first double century:
- Test: 212 against South Africa in Ranchi, 2019
- ODI: 209 against Australia, 2013
Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill is the new star in Indian cricket. He has already shown that he can bat anywhere in both Tests and ODIs.
He scored his first ODI double century in 2023, scoring 208 against New Zealand in Hyderabad. He became the youngest player to score 200 runs in ODIs.
Two and a half years later, he also scored a double century in Tests. He scored 269 runs as captain, this time against England in Birmingham.
Shubman Gill’s first double century:
- Test: 269 vs England, Birmingham, 2025
