Watch: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's Epic Reaction In Dugout As India Win 3rd T20I vs Australia
As soon as the winning runs were hit in the third India-Australia T20I, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma celebrated in unison.
Rohit Sharma-led Team India defeated Australia by six wickets in the third T20I on Sunday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad to win the three-match series 2-1. Needing 11 runs in the final over, Virat Kohli smashed a six off the first ball bowled by Daniel Sams, but he perished the very next ball after playing a knock of 63. The equation came down to 4 off 2 balls, and it was then that Hardik Pandya managed to register a boundary to take the hosts over the line.
As soon as the winning runs were hit, Kohli and Rohit celebrated in unison. The duo was sitting at the stairs between the dugout and dressing room area. The duo hugged each other, and Kohli was also seen repeatedly patting Rohit's back in excitement.
