Virat can Hit a Tripple Century in ODI
Former Indian fast bowler Shantakumaran Sreesanth has mentioned the three players who can score a triple century in One Day International cricket. The surprising thing is that the three players named by S Sreesanth have not scored a double century in One Day International cricket. Out of that, two players have not scored more than 120 runs in ODIs so far.
In ODI International cricket, no player has scored a triple century yet. However, it would be wrong to say that this is impossible because everything is possible in sports especially in cricket.

The Indian team’s limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma has hit three double centuries in ODIs, including a 264-run inning, but S Sreesanth has not included Rohit Sharma in his list. Even Martin Guptill, who played an unbeaten inning of 237 runs, has not been selected.

S Sreesanth also feels that the England team all-rounder Ben Stokes can also do this.
