India vs Australia 2017, 5th ODI: 5 things we learnt from the match

#2 Rohit Sharma 3rd quickest to 6000 runs

Rohit blazed away from the start

Rohit Sharma was the third slowest Indian to 2000 ODI runs, but today, reached the 6000-run mark as the third fastest, which underlines his rise in the limited-overs side in the past few years. After a slow start to his career, the Mumbaikar has finally kicked on and is turning out to be a huge force at the top of the order for India.

From setting the tempo early and going berserk in the final few overs, Sharma has handled everything quite well. Against his favourite opponents, the Australians, Rohit once again churned out a memorable hundred, his 14th in ODI cricket, to end the series on a high.
