Australia v India - 4th Test: Day 4
Kohli and Rohit had some fun before sending Lanka in to bat again

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had a decent platform and a potentially mammoth lead. They could play their ODI game and give the Indian bowlers a crack at Sri Lanka's clueless batsmen before stumps on day 4 and this is exactly what unfolded in Delhi. The duo went about their business in a nonchalant, effortless manner, smashing boundaries, picking on the fielders and racing off.

The 90-run stand between the two came in 15 overs as both batsmen also got their respective half-centuries. Kohli's fifty came up in 58 balls while Rohit was unbeaten on 50 off 49 deliveries. The skipper was dismissed by Lahiru Gamage and India's innings was declared on 246/5.
