Rank	Player	Balls to Reach 200	Score	Opponent
1	Shubman Gill	117	223*	West Indies
2	Ishan Kishan	126	210	Bangladesh
3	Glenn Maxwell	128	201*	Afghanistan
4	Pathum Nissanka	136	210*	Afghanistan
5	Chris Gayle	138	215	Zimbabwe

This record list shows how quickly modern batters can reach the 200-run milestone. Gill’s 117-ball double century surpassed Ishan Kishan’s previous record of 126 balls.

Highest Individual Score in ODI Cricket

Rohit Sharma has the world record for the highest score ever made by an individual male cricketer in ODI format, that of 264 against Sri Lanka on November 13, 2014, at Kolkata.

Rohit managed to score 264 from 173 balls by hitting 33 fours and 9 sixes after reaching his century mark.

The record is especially noteworthy because it was set during a 50-over match when the batters have to maintain the balance between quick scoring and saving their wickets. While many double centuries were hit in the meantime, no men’s ODI batter has yet beaten this record of 264 as of October 2026.

First Double Century in ODI Cricket

The first double century in women’s ODI cricket was scored by Australia’s Belinda Clark, who made 229 not out against Denmark in 1997.

In men’s ODI cricket, Sachin Tendulkar became the first player to reach 200 when he scored 200 not out against South Africa in 2010.

These milestones are often confused, so it is important to distinguish between the first double century in ODI cricket overall and the first in men’s ODI cricket.

Double Century in Women’s ODI Cricket

Women’s ODI cricket also has remarkable double-century records. New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr holds the highest individual score in women’s ODI cricket, with an unbeaten 232 against Ireland on June 13, 2018.

Before Kerr’s achievement, Belinda Clark held the record with 229 not out against Denmark in 1997.

Player	Country	Score	Opponent	Year
Amelia Kerr	New Zealand	232*	Ireland	2018
Belinda Clark	Australia	229*	Denmark	1997

These innings are separate from the men’s ODI records and highlight the achievements of leading batters in women’s international cricket.

Why Is Scoring a Double Century in ODI So Difficult?

Scoring 200 runs in an ODI requires a batter to combine endurance with attacking cricket. Unlike shorter formats, an ODI innings may last for many overs, so players must manage their energy and maintain concentration.

Several factors make the achievement difficult:

• Consistent scoring: A batter must keep scoring runs over a long period.
• Power hitting: Boundaries help increase the run rate and reduce the number of deliveries needed.
• Fitness: Remaining at the crease for a long innings requires stamina.
• Shot selection: Batters must identify scoring opportunities while avoiding unnecessary risks.
• Partnerships: Support from teammates helps maintain momentum and protect wickets.

Only a small group of players have scored double centuries in men’s ODI cricket, making it one of the format’s most distinctive individual achievements.

Conclusion

In One Day International cricket, making a double century is a very rare feat which demonstrates the skills of the player in terms of technique, endurance, and mastery over international bowling attacks. In men’s One Day International cricket, the player holding the most double centuries is Rohit Sharma, who currently holds the record for scoring the most runs in an individual inning with 264 runs.

The most recent addition to the history of ODI cricket comes from Shubman Gill with his unbeaten 223 runs against the West Indies in 2026, which also became the record for hitting a double century the fastest in 117 balls.
