IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: India's star batter Rohit Sharma has proved his naysayers wrong by hitting a brilliant ton, which was his 33rd in this format against Australia in Sydney. The former India skipper, along with Virat Kohli, brought up his ton brilliantly and also made the fans nostalgic.
He has become the only batter with five or more tons across formats.
His innings included both calculation and aggression, Rohit got to his milestone with a composed single off Adam Zampa, to hop away his hundred.
Aided by his trusted partner-in-crime, Virat Kohli, on the other end, Rohit’s century, peppered with 11 fours and 2 sixes, was celebrated with a muted gesture of thanks to the crowd, as Ro-Ko both hugged each other in the middle of the crease.
With his century today, Rohit also equalled Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 9 centuries scored against Australia, the most ever scored against them in ODI history.
He also eclipsed Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara as the visiting batter with the most ODI hundreds against AUS.
