Melbourne: West Indies cricket legend Brian Lara on Wednesday said that Indian batsman Rohit Sharma’s record one-day international (ODI) knock of 264 will be difficult to surpass.
Rohit stunned the cricketing world with his monster score against Sri Lanka last week, smashing the previous record of 219 held by fellow Indian Virender Sehwag.
“We all grew up with the innings of Sir Vivian Richards’ 189 in Manchester against England, and how he dominated the bowling then and that was the world record for quite some time,†Lara said.

“But I felt that 200 was possible. I just believe that this one (Rohit’s innings) is a little bit unreachable now. This one is an exceptional performance, getting to that total and he still got out. It was a special innings. It’s very, very difficult to see it being surpassed.â€
