Wanted To Bat As Deep As Possible, Says Rohit After Hitting Century In Sydney
Sydney Cricket Ground: After hitting a match-winning 121 in India’s nine-wicket win over Australia in the third ODI, senior opener Rohit Sharma said his intention was to bat as deep as possible and look at the chance of taking the game till the end in front of a packed Sydney Cricket Ground.
Rohit led the charge for India, chasing 237 with an unbeaten 121 and anchoring the chase with characteristic ease, while sharing an unbroken 168-run stand with Virat Kohli, who scored a fluent 74 not out, as the duo guided India home in style.
“I enjoy playing in Australia in general. This was the perfect day, again, to get a big one and get the team through. We had the opportunity, the bowlers did a fantastic job of restricting them first up. With that score, I thought they were a little under par. Credit has to go to the bowlers, the way they bowled.”
