Australia set a daunting 360 run target for India in the second ODI of the seven-match series. Rohit and Dhawan added 176 runs for the first wicket and then Virat Kohli joined Rohit as the duo absolutely destroyed the Australian bowling.

Rohit Sharma played his natural attacking game throughout the innings and showed the world what he truly is capable of. He scored 17 boundaries and four sixes in this marauding knock and took India home with 9 wickets and 6 overs to spare.

This innings, in a true sense, solidified Rohit as the white ball cricket opener of India for the upcoming years.

India won the toss and decided to bat first on a typical Chinnaswamy wicket. The pressure was big as it was the series decider and an opportunity for India to win their first ever seven-match ODI series.

As usual, Rohit took his time and scored his fifty of 70 balls. Once he got his eye in, he started to pick up the pace and unleashed in the last eight overs.

He reached his maiden ODI double century in the penultimate over of the innings with a six over the covers from a Clint McKay delivery as he brought up his second hundred in just 42 deliveries.

In the end, Rohit finished with 209 runs from 158 balls with the help of 12 fours and 16 sixes as he laid the platform for India's 56-run win.
