Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli paced a tricky run chase with sublime knocks as India wrapped the series 2-1 with a seven-wicket victory in the decisive third ODI against Australia on Sunday.
Rohit delivered 119 off 128 in the all-important game for his 29th ODI hundred. After Rohit’s fall, Kohli (89 off 91) anchored the chase successfully, with 2.1 overs to spare.
India had a point to prove against Australia, having lost the home series to them in March last year. The 10-wicket drubbing in Mumbai did not deter India as they posted emphatic victories in Rajkot.
