Australia v India - Game 2

Having lost the first of the seven scheduled ODI matches, the Indians met the Australians at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium at Jaipur on 16th of October, 2013. Australia won the toss and decided to bat on a batting paradise. All of the Aussie top five got past the half-a-ton mark with the captain Bailey being not out on 92 in mere 50 balls.

Australia posted 359, the exact first inning score of 2003 world cup final against the same opposition. But this time the second innings was different to the one in 2003. Indian openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma scored 176 runs before the former fell five short of his hundred.

Virat Kohli joined Rohit Sharma with almost half an innings to be played. Rohit Sharma smashed a memorable 141* with 17 fours and 4 sixes in just 123 balls.

He smashed the likes of Johnson, McKay, Watson and Faulkner at will. Virat Kohli too smashed the fastest hundred by an Indian as the modern master reached the three figure mark in just 52 deliveries. India won the match with 39 balls to spare and nine wickets intact.
