Australia simply couldn't find a way past Rohit in the 2013 ODI series

When you score a double century in an ODI, you certainly magnify your chances of finishing run-getter in that series. Rohit Sharma did just that against Australia at home in 2013 and until his teammate came along, he also held the world record for most runs in a bilateral ODI series with 491 runs from six matches.

Australia, Rohit's favorite opponents in ODIs were at the unfortunate end of an onslaught that saw the Indian opener score two centuries and a fifty in the series and finish it with an average of 122.75. No bowler was spared and nor was any corner of the ground as the stylish right-hander smoked the ball with the precision of a chef over a barbecue grill.
