At 38 years and 178 days, Rohit Sharma became the oldest Indian to win the Man of the Series award in ODIs. The right-handed batter began the series on a poor note, perishing for a single-digit score in Perth. The former captain also struggled with the bat in the second ODI but found a way to score runs and pile up a half-century. He then went from strength to strength by scoring a century.
The veteran batter finished the series with 202 runs in three innings at a stunning average of 101. None of the other Indian batters reached the triple-figure mark. Australia’s Matthew Short was second in the list of run-scorers with 112 in three games.
