Rohit Sharma's Ton Goes in Vain, Australia Achieve Record Chase in Brisbane
January 15, 2016 17:00
For the second consecutive time, Rohit Sharma scored a magnificent century but India failed to defend a total of 300. Australia achieved a record run chase at the Gabba after they chased down 308 to go 2-0 up in the five-match series.

However, Rohit Sharma continued from where he left off in Perth as he confidently took the attack to the bowlers. He top-edged a six off Kane Richardson to take his tally of sixes against Australia to 38, the most by a player against them.

India broke the 145-run stand when Ravindra Jadeja got Finch to mistime a lofted shot to long-off where Rahane took a splendid catch diving forward. However, Finch's 71 and the stand had given Australia a nice platform.

George Bailey, who has a phenomenal record against India, ensured that there were no hiccups as he guided Australia home by seven wickets with one over to spare. His unbeaten 76 off 58 balls made all the difference as Australia surged to a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
