By Saurabh Sharma January 20, 2020 • 12:08 PM View: 1319

Bengaluru, Jan 20: It was once again up to the big guns of Indian cricket -- Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma -- who took the mantle in their own hands and guided the team to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Australia in the third and final ODI played at the M. Chinnaswamy on Sunday.

Chasing 287, Rohit and Kohli stitched a 137-run stand for the second wicket. Even though both failed to stay till the end, their show ensured that India chased down the total with 15 balls to spare. This century stand between the duo was their 11th while chasing a total in ODIs -- the second-highest by any pair in the format.
