#4 George Bailey, 156
Win or lose, a hundred or a duck. You always see a smiling George Bailey. Australia were leading the 7-match ODI series 2-1 after the heroics of James Faulkner in Mohali ODI. The teams traveled to Nagpur for the penultimate ODI on 30th of October, 2013 where the Indian skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and invited Australia to have a bat.
After losing two early wickets George Bailey and Shane Watson put on a partnership of 168 runs. Bailey, before handing a catch to Virat Kohli off Ravindra Jadeja's bowling, managed to hit 156 runs with 13 fours and 6 mammoth sixes in just 114 deliveries, with the help of which, Australia posted yet another total of 350 in the series.
India had already chased down similar total in the 2nd ODI of the same series. Outcame the Indian openers with all the grit and determination.
The Indian top three took on Australian attack. Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli scored hundreds and Rohit Sharma had scored 79 before being dismissed by part-timer Aaron Finch. India won the game convincingly by 6 wickets and leveled the series 2-2.
