List of highest individual scores in ODIs - wikipedia List of highest individual scores in ODIs One Day International ( ODI ) cricket is played between international cricket teams who are Full Members of the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) as well as the top six Associate and Affiliate members. Unlike Test matches, ODIs consist of one innings per team, having a limit in the number of overs. The limit of overs is currently 50 overs per innings, although in the past this has been 55 or 60 overs. ODI cricket is List - A cricket, so statistics and records set in ODI matches also count toward List - A records. The earliest match now recognized as an ODI was played between England and Australia in January 1971 ; since then there have been over 3,000 ODIs played by 26 teams. The frequency of matches has steadily increased, partly because of the increase in the number of ODI - playing countries, and partly as the cricket boards of those nations seek to maximise their revenue. Before breaking the 200 mark, the highest ODI score was 194 jointly held by Pakistani Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwean Charles Coventry. In One Day Internationals, the first man to score a double century was Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 200 not out against South Africa at Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior, India. Rohit Sharma is the only player in history to score 3 double centuries. The following table lists scores of 180 or higher.
