3rd ODI: Rohit’s Century, Kohli’s Fifty Ensure India Get Consolation Nine-wicket Win
Sydney Cricket Ground: Rohit Sharma led the charge with a vintage 121 - his 33rd ODI century - while Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 74, as the duo turned back the clock in impressive style and secured India a stunning nine-wicket consolation victory over Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.
Australia started strongly, but India fought back with disciplined bowling, as Harshit Rana’s decisive spell of 4-39 helped the visitors bowl out the hosts for 236. India’s reply was confident from the beginning - Rohit and Shubman Gill added 68 for the first wicket before Josh Hazlewood dismissed the latter.
That brought Rohit and Virat together, as India’s most experienced batting pair proved their high potential. Rohit’s stroke play was sharp, hitting 13 fours and three sixes in his 121 not out off 125 balls, while Kohli’s composure was steady in scoring an unbeaten 74 off 81 deliveries, with seven boundaries.
