In the second ODI against Australia, the initial openings by Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan was not up to the mark. Rohit Sharma departed for zero and Shikhar Dhawan scored 21 runs. Even Ambati Rayudu managed to score 18 runs off 32 balls.
Yet again it was King Kohli to the rescue. He led the team from the front and won the battle of runs all alone by scoring his 40th One-day International (ODI) cricket with 107 balls.After Australia decided to bowl in the second ODI against India, they held an indomitable pitch.
But now with Kohli scoring a century with smashing nine boundaries, the men in blue is again in a respectable position with respect to runs. India was previously 225 for six in 43.1 overs.
India are leading this ODI of five matches by 1-0, as they won the first one in Hyderabad. This ODI century of Kohli is his seventh, against Australia. Even India won their first ever bilateral ODI series against Australia.
BCCI was proud to present another of our batting god, Virat Kohli who stormed his own way into his 40th ODI century.
