In the match against Sri Lanka, the 32-year-old smashed 208 runs - hitting 13 fours and 12 sixes - at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.
Team India opener Rohit Sharma has revealed why his wife Ritika got all emotional after he smashed his third double century in ODIs.
Rohit finally narrated the incident during the second episode of the 'Open nets with Mayank'.
Sharma, who was accompanied by his opening partners Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank on the show, claimed that his wife thought that he had twisted his arm while diving in for the 196th run during the innings.
"As you can see my wife got emotional there, this day was special as it was my anniversary. Probably the best gift I could give it to her while I am on the field, it was quite emotional though," said Rohit during the candid chat.
"When I came from the ground, I just asked her why did you (Ritika) cry? So she told me that she thought I (Rohit) twisted my hand when I dived for my 196th run and that was a little worrying factor for her, she got little emotional of because of that I guess," he added.

This boosted the Men In Blue to post a score of 392/4 in the allotted fifty overs.
Team India went on to win the match quite comfortably in the end by 141 runs.
"To be honest I was going pretty slow, I never thought I will get to a double hundred but once you cross 125, I feel it gets easier for you because bowlers are under pressure. Unless you make a mistake I don't think you can get out," said Rohit.
The coronavirus outbreak brought most sports activities to a halt with players practising social distancing and self-isolation during the pandemic.
