IND VS AUS 2013 : When Rohit Sharma announced himself to the world

It was the second ODI of a seven-match series against Australia in Jaipur when India was set an improbable target of 360. Following their loss in the opening encounter, the Men in Blue were starring down the barrel of a 0-2 deficit when the batsmen took matters into their own hands.

An incredible opening partnership saw Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan propel India to 176/0 in 26 overs. Australia finally broke through, removing Dhawan for 95 to make way for Virat Kohli's entry. Carnage of the highest order followed as the champion batter smashed a century off 52 deliveries with eight fours and an incredible seven maximums. On the other side, Rohit played second-fiddle, notching up a sublime century off 102 deliveries and eventually finished on 141 from 123 balls.

The pair stitched together an unbeaten partnership of 186 from 104 deliveries to motor India to a nine-wicket victory in a mere 43.3 overs. Here is a video of the game that saw India chase 360 and level the series at one apiece.
