Rohit Sharma started slowly but ensured he was not dismissed cheaply. From 60 off 80 balls, Rohit raced to a sensational, game-changing 137 off 126 balls but not before embroiling himself in some controversy.

The Indian opener was on 90 off 101 balls when he hit a high full toss from Rubel Hossain to the deep fielder. Aleem Dar signalled a no-ball, however, replays showed it to be a marginal call.

A furious Bangladesh Cricket Board President stated after the game, "Naturally we will appeal against these decisions in our report. It won't change the result, unfortunately. One wrong decision can make a huge difference in a World Cup quarter-final. I have had discussions with the ICC president (Mustafa Kamal) as no one else among the senior (ICC) officials were here in Melbourne. Legally what needs to be done, we will do it."

Jadeja's burst and Rohit’s final over slogs took India past the 300 mark, the second highest score in a knockout game in the World Cup.
