Rohit Sharma strikes 100 against Australia today at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. It was a familiar sight, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli at the crease, dictating terms to Australia’s bowlers. The two senior pros stitched together a 100-run partnership, turning India’s innings around in the third and final ODI.
Rohit, playing his first international match in over seven months, announced his return in style with his 33rd ODI century. The understanding of both the players was seamless; every single and boundary drew cheers from the packed SCG stands.
India had walked into the match under a lot of pressure, needing a strong start to steady the series and the duo provided exactly that, composure built on experience.
By the time the partnership ended, India had not only regained control but had silenced the home crowd. The innings once again underlined why Rohit and Kohli remain the backbone of India’s batting, even amid a new generation of stroke-makers.
