Five instances when Rohit Sharma helped India chase down challenging targets in ODIs

#4 152* against West Indies, Guwahati, 2018

Rohit Sharma pummels the West Indies attack

In 2018, West Indies came touring India and in the first game of the series, a 78-ball 106 from Shimron Hetmyer and a handy half-century from Kieron Powell at the top of the order helped the visitors to 322-8 from 50 overs.

Set a target of 323, West Indies might have thought that they had it in the bag but Rohit Sharma had other ideas. The right-hander did start slow but then made up for it as he went on a rampage, punishing the spinners and pacers with disdain.

With Shikhar Dhawan falling early in the second over, Sharma stitched an important 246-run partnership with Virat Kohli, who himself notched up a wonderful 107-ball 140 as they thrashed a hopeless West Indies bowling unit.

The opener brought up his century in just 84 balls with an exquisite cover drive and just took 32 more balls to bring up his 150, as he finished the match with a six, ending the game with a little less than eight overs to spare. Sharma finished with 152 runs from 117 balls laced with 15 fours and eight sixes.
