India began their run-chase with both Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma firing on all cylinders right from the beginning. The duo played some brilliant shots, keeping the Indian scoreboard ticking.

While Rahane hit some well-timed boundaries, Rohit dealt mainly in sixes. He effortlessly smashed the Australian bowlers to all parts of the ground. Out of his six boundaries, five of them were sixes.

He looked well set at 65 but during the 23rd over, set off for a needless single despite Kohli urging him to stop and eventually paid the price with his wicket. Had he not been dismissed then, he could have easily scored a century and led India to victory.
