Let us tell you, before this, 9 players had scored double century in ODI cricket. Now Sri Lanka’s best opening batsman Pathum Nissanka has also been added to this list. The record of scoring the most double centuries in ODI cricket is in the name of Indian team captain Rohit Sharma, who has scored three double centuries in this format so far.
Talking about Sri Lanka, before this Sanath Jayasuriya had played an inning of 189 runs against India in ODI in 2000. Pathum Nissanka has also broken this record. So far, the list of people who have scored double century in ODI is – Rohit Sharma (3 times), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Fakhar Zaman, Ishan Kishan, Glenn Maxwell, Martin Guptill, Chris Gayle, Shubman Gill and Pathum Nissanka (all scored 1- 1 times).

Apart from Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando played a valuable inning of 88 runs while Sadira Samawickrama scored 45 runs. Captain Kusal Mendis contributed 16 runs.
If Afghanistan wants to win the first ODI, they will have to score 382 runs in 50 overs. However, it will be very difficult for them to do so. At present, all the fans are very happy with the record-breaking innings of opening batsman Pathum Nissanka.
