Returning after a 10-week injury lay-off the Mumbai right-hander toyed with the Sri Lankan bowling en route to a 173-ball 264, which was studded with 33 boundaries and nine sixes.
In the process, he also broke compatriot Virender Sehwag's record of 219 runs, which was set against the West Indies in 2011, and became the first batsman to register two double centuries in ODIs.
