This was supposed to be an insurmountable chase that, if achieved, would go down in history as the second greatest chase of all time. Team India were set a target of 360 runs to chase in 50 overs. It was on the back of five 50+ scores from the first five batsmen in the Aussie lineup.

India started on an adrenaline rush that was needed to get a head start in the chase, and the rush never stopped. At the fall of the first wicket at 176 runs, India still needed 184 runs from 143 balls. India did it next 104 balls with Kohli going berserk, scoring 100 off 52 balls and Rohit scoring 141* off 123 balls.

This was Kohli's 17th ODI ton and 9th in the chase. He had unleashed his inner untamed beast to make a mockery of an otherwise improbable target.

RESULT: INDIA WON BY 9 WICKETS IN 43.3 OVERS || VIRAT KOHLI'S SCORE:100*(52)
