#3 India vs. Australia at Jaipur 2013
After defeating India comprehensively in the 1st ODI of the 7 match series, the home team was looking to bounce back. And so they did, in breathtaking fashion, by chasing down the massive total of 359 set by the Kangaroos. By doing so, it became the 2nd highest run chase in ODI history back then, until South Africa recently broke it at Durban.
After opting to bat first, Australia amassed a total of 359 in 50 overs. It was an incredible team effort, as 5 of their batsmen namely Aaron Finch, Phil Hughes, Shane Watson, George Bailey and Glen Maxwell went on to score a half-century each.
Having a massive total of 360 to chase down, India managed to win in emphatic fashion. Australia did not know what had struck them. Rohit Sharma and Kohli brutally attacked the Australian bowlers and took India over the line with 39 balls to spare. Rohit scored 141 off 123 deliveries while Kohli smashed 100 off 52 balls.
None of the bowlers were spared, and Watson turned out to be the most expensive bowler once again. The only bowler who performed decently well was Xavier Doherty who conceded 70 runs in 10 overs. The rest of the bowlers were bruised and battered by the two batsmen.
