Two outstanding innings at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati in Rohit Sharma’s ODI career include a century and a half-century. Sharma is best known for his unbeaten 152 from a 2013 ODI at the venue against the West Indies. The score remains his best ODI knock and the highest score ever made by an Indian cricketer in ODIs.
Rohit Sharma’s Unbeaten 152 Against West Indies
A patience-tested, ultimately explosive knock.
In the first match of the series on 21 October 2018, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, West Indies put up a formidable total of 322/8. Shimron Hetmyer scored a valiant century, and upon hearing the cheers from the West Indian players and fans, it became apparent that the visitors had set a good score on a typical Indian sub-continent sporting track.
The task became even more daunting as the first over of the Indian run chase saw Shikhar Dhawan’s dismissal by the debutant pacer, Oshane Thomas.
Along with Kohli, Rohit Sharma maintained his calm throughout the innings, playing the role of senior partner perfectly, and scoring at a brisk pace. With the score at 51, he brought the game in India’s favor by smoking back-to-back sixes, the first of the over, and the first of the innings against Devendra Bishoo.
The innings in numbers
- Rohit finished the chase with a six over long-off off Chandrapaul Hemraj
- 152 not out from 117 balls
- 15 fours and 8 sixes
- Strike rate of 129.91
- His 20th ODI century, reached off 84 balls with a boundary off Ashley Nurse
- A 246-run second-wicket partnership with Virat Kohli
- India reached 326/2 in 42.1 overs, winning by 8 wickets with 47 balls to spare
Rashid Khan, the Afghan spinner, had been smashed for a total of 36 runs in his two previous overs, and with Kohli seemingly setting the pace at the other end, Rohit appeared content to play the second fiddle. He eventually caught up to Kohli and from there took charge of the Indian innings. Rohit displayed supreme skill, power, and finesse in his batting display, and gave the Indian crowd an unforgettable century.
It was more than just another round of batting. Rohit’s score took him ahead of Sachin Tendulkar for the most scores of 150 or more in ODIs. The score also took him to 20 as the number of ODI hundreds. This also moved Rohit to 4th on the list of most hundreds by an Indian batsman in ODIs, overtaking Sourav Ganguly. At the time, it was the 2nd highest individual score by an Indian batsman against the West Indies, behind Virender Sehwag’s 219.
Virat Kohli who scored 140, also speaking about the partnership said, “When Rohit is batting, it feels that there is nothing much which can’t be chased.”
Rohit’s exploits with the bat at Barsapara,Guwahati in 2018, are unforgettable. He single handedly beat the visitors by smashing 152 not out off 117. His unbeaten ton also helped him win the Man of the Match award.
Rohit Sharma Earlier Innings at Barsapara
Rohit was already a known entity for Indian cricket fans before he scored his famous 152 at Barsapara. In a game prior, he made 83. Because of that game, and that innings, Rohit now has 235 runs at this venue, averaging an astounding 117.50. He’s obviously lapped up the opportunity to play here.
The 83 helped him stake a claim to be India’s go-to opener for limited overs cricket, but the rest of his record at Barsapara is equally impressive.
What Makes Rohit’s Guwahati Record Significant?
In just two ODIs, Rohit’s Venue Average is north of 100. Against an international standard attack, he’s faced just 155 balls, scoring 235 runs. Against this attack, he’s been dismissed just once. Given he’s faced just 155 balls, his average and strike rate are both extremely high. He’s played virtually every single delivery he’s faced, and has rarely been dismissed. Against a quality attack, that is no easy feat. For good measure, he’s done this in a time when the nature of ODI cricket has evolved, and scoring rates have increased drastically.
He has a century against this team at this ground. He also faces the West Indies at Barsapara on the 30th of September, the same opposition against whom he scored 152 in 2018. As such, his previous experience of the venue and the opponents would be helpful for this game, especially the second ODI.
His 152 not out in 2018 was the last over ton by an Indian batsman and helped him walk off the field with the game won. His 152 was also the second highest by an Indian batsman in ODIs. Therefore, the unbeaten 152 also positively impacted the average of his record at the venue.
Rohit scored his first 50 of the 2018 ODI series against the West Indies at Barsapara and helped build the innings for the later onslaught by Kohli. He is also known for reading the situation of the game and adjusting his striking rate accordingly. Barsapara also provided ample evidence of his ability to read the game.
Rohit is the highest run getter and the second highest average batsman at the Barsapara stadium, with two 100+ scores and a strike rate above 127 in just 2 matches.
