3rd ODI: Rohit, Virat Turn Back The Clock As India Gets Consolation Nine-wicket Win Over Australia (ld)
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 amazing style and got India a stunning nine-wicket consolation win over Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground here on Saturday.
Australia had started brightly, but India clawed back through disciplined bowling, as Harshit Rana’s decisive spell of 4-39 helped the visitors bowl out the hosts for 236. India’s reply was assertive from the outset - Rohit and Shubman Gill put on 68 for the opening stand before Josh Hazlewood removed the latter.
That brought Rohit and Virat together, as India’s most experienced batting pair justified their high ceiling. Rohit’s strokeplay was crisp in hitting 13 fours and three sixes in his 121 not out off 125 balls, while Kohli’s composure was unwavering in hitting an unbeaten 74 off 81 deliveries, laced with seven boundaries.
