Scoring a double century has become a new normal in One-Day International cricket, especially in the last ten years. This article talks about the top ten fastest 200 in ODI cricket history.
Top 10 Fastest 200 In ODI Cricket
Left-handed wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan scored the fastest double century in the history of One-Day International cricket off just 126 balls against Bangladesh in 2022, which is also the only score of 200 or more by a wicketkeeper in ODIs.
2. Glenn Maxwell vs Afghanistan, 2023
Glenn Maxwell's innings of 201* runs off 128 balls is arguably the best innings in this format of the game, considering the circumstances under which the knock was played against a spin-heavy Afghan side in Mumbai.
Having lost seven wickets for 91 runs, Maxwell single-handedly guided Australia to an impossible-looking win while battling injury.
The elite list also has Sri Lanka's representation in the form of young and talented opening batter Pathum Nissanka, who scored a double century after facing just 136 balls against Afghanistan in Pallekele.
4. Chris Gayle vs Zimbabwe, 2015
The universe boss Chris Gayle also finds his name in the list of players to score the fastest 200 in One-Day Internationals. Gayle took 138 balls to get to the milestone against Zimbabwe during the 2015 World Cup.
The West Indies batter was one of the two players to score a double century in that tournament, along with Martin Guptill.
Virender Sehwag scored a double century off 140 balls against the West Indies in 2011 and became the second Indian batter to get to that landmark.
6. Shubman Gill vs New Zealand, 2023
The right-hander, who was still finding his feet in One-Day International cricket, scored a match-winning double century against New Zealand in Hyderabad off 145 balls.
One thing that stood out during Gill's knock was the way he accelerated in the final five overs to complete the milestone.
India's Sachin Tendulkar became the first male cricketer to score a double century in ODI cricket when he scored 200 off just 147 balls against South Africa in 2010 in Gwalior.
8. Fakhar Zaman vs Zimbabwe, 2018
The left-hander is the only player from Pakistan to score an ODI 200, which he notched up against Zimbabwe off just 148 balls in 2018.
Rohit Sharma is the only batter to score three double centuries in ODI cricket, having done so against Australia and Sri Lanka. The right-hander brought up his second double century off just 151 balls against Sri Lanka in 2014.
10. Rohit Sharma vs Sri Lanka, 2017
Rohit's love affair with Sri Lanka continued when the island nation toured India in 2017. Sharma scored his third ODI double hundred off 151 balls this time as the captain of the team in Mohali.
