List of highest individual scores in ODIs

Rohit Sharma holds the highest individual ODI score with 264 runs.

One Day International (ODI) cricket is played between international cricket teams who are Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as the top six Associate and Affiliate members.^[1] Unlike Test matches, ODIs consist of one innings per team, having a limit in the number of overs. The limit of overs is currently 50 overs per innings, although in the past this has been 55 or 60 overs.^[2] ODI cricket is List-A cricket, so statistics and records set in ODI matches also count toward List-A records. The earliest match now recognised as an ODI was played between England and Australia in January 1971;^[3] since then there have been over 3,000 ODIs played by 26 teams. The frequency of matches has steadily increased, partly because of the increase in the number of ODI-playing countries, and partly as the cricket boards of those nations seek to maximise their revenue.^[4]

In One Day Internationals, the first man to score a double century was Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 200 not out against South Africa at Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior in 2010. Four batsmen have gone past 200 in ODIs Virender Sehwag, Martin Guptill, Rohit Sharma (twice), and Chris Gayle. The highest score in ODIs is 264, scored by Rohit Sharma against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on 13 November 2014.
