Australia tour of India, 2nd ODI:
India v Australia at Jaipur, Oct 16, 2013
Australia 359/5 (50 ov) GJ Bailey-92, PJ Hughes -83, GJ Maxwell - 53
India 362/1 (43.3 ov) Rohit - 141*, Kohli - 100*, Dhavan - 95
Man of the Match: Rohit Sharma
India won by 9 wickets with 39 balls remaining
This has been some hitting festival! This is so wrong, India winning this match by nine wickets (nine wickets!!). Shikhar Dhawan started it, Rohit Sharma held it together and Virat Kohli just ran away with it. India have squared up the seven match series with one of the most unbelievable chases in ODIs. Bailey has the same expression as mine.. He is at loss of words. Let's not take away anything from Australia who put that strong total up in the first place - their top five all scoring effortless half-centuries, but this was one of those days when you get a high, then get hurt later with a bigger blow..
Virat gets the fastest ODI century by an Indian, the seventh fastest ever, with a delicate dab to point. the whole ground erupts, Kohli's teammates erupt.It's his 16th 100 as well.
Shikhar Dhawan: "We started off very well and once we got the momentum, we just carried on. Both (Rohit and Dhawan) are doing a good job for the country. We didn't want to play rash shots early, we opened up only later. I am happy for Rohit that he got the century today, because he was playing well in the last few months."
Virat Kohli: "I kept telling ROhit that it was his day today, but i kept hitting the ball very well. I didn't bat in the nets yesterday, just had a few throw downs. I wasn't worried about the short-pitched stuff, i pulled a few of them early and then they started bowling half-volleys. Rohit is the best of the young lot that we have and he is the most dangerous T20 player, so it was a privilege to watch him from the other end."
