Three Double Tons - Which one is the best ?

It was November 2 - still one more day for Diwali - but, every Indian, whether sitting in M. Chinnaswamy or in their homes - glued to their TV screens, were watching the fireworks showering and thundering in and around the Chinnaswamy Stadium.  Rohit celebrates his double hundred at M. Chinnaswamy, Bangalore It was the last ODI (One Day International) of 7 match India vs Australia Star Sports Cricket Series and both the teams were 2-2 in the series before the match. India was batting first and then came a magnificent double ton knock (209) from Rohit Sharma . It was, only the third ODI double century and interestingly, all three by Indians. India ultimately claimed 57-run victory in match and eventually won the series title despite some heroics by James Faulkner . Other two double ton knocks - first one from The Little Master Sachin Tendulkar and second one from Multan ke Sultan Virendra Sehwag .   Sachin celebrates his double ton at Roop Singh Stadium, Gwalior On 24t
