Hitman Rohit Sharma revealed untold facts related to his third double in ODIs during the show 'Open Nets with Mayank (Aggarwal)'. In a conversation with team India partner Mayank Agarwal, Rohit revealed why his wife Ritika became emotional after hitting her third double century. Rohit played an unbeaten innings of 208 runs in 153 balls against Sri Lanka in December 2017. He said, 'When I touched a double century, my wife became emotional. It was a special innings as we had our wedding anniversary (13 December). On that occasion, the best gift I could give her. She was scared when I had to dive to my score of 196. Then Ritika felt that my arm was twisted and she became emotional.' The hitman hit 13 fours and 12 sixes in that innings. Thanks to his innings, India had scored 392/4 runs in 50 overs. Ultimately, Team India won that match by 141 runs. Rohit is the only cricketer who has scored three double centuries in ODIs. This was his second double century against Sri Lanka, and one came against Australia (264).
