    "editor1": "<p><strong>Mohali, Dec 13 (CRICKETNMORE) -<\/strong> India skipper Rohit Sharma (208 not out), who slammed his third double ton to pilot India to a mammoth 392 against Sri Lanka on Wednesday, said the innings which he played against Sri Lanka in 2014 was very close to him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rohit played a brilliant knock of 264 in 173 balls in the fourth One-Day International against Sri Lanka in Kolkata, making him the highest individual ODI scorer.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His first double tom came against Australia in 2013.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think that 264 is very close to me. People keep asking me to pick one but I really cannot pick one. That one against Australia was the series decider, the one against Sri Lanka earlier was one where I was coming back from a three-month long injury and this one was necessary to keep the series alive after a humiliating loss,&quot; Rohit said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Commenting on the match, Rohit said: &quot;It was a great day. Winning the game was important for me and for the team. After the loss at Dharamsala it was necessary to come back, and what a comeback it was,&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Mumbai batsman also praised Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer along with debutant Washington Sundar.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Shikhar gave us a perfect start and Shreyas Iyer, playing his second match, just didn&#39;t look like he was playing only his second match. It was great to get the total we got because there was a bit of dew in the end,&quot; Rohit said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Not the ideal conditions for him (Sundar) to debut but this is how he will learn. He has the talent and he has shown it in the IPL. As a team management we want to back players like him and do not want to put any undue pressure on him. I am sure he must have learnt a lot playing with the wet ball and I wish him all the luck,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
