#3 Rohit Sharma, 171*
The WACA, Perth is known to be one of the bouncier tracks of all Australian tracks, so much so that, LBW decisions are almost ruled off in the games there. Quite a fan of playing bounce, the 'Hit-Man' Rohit Sharma, was at the crease. Sharma, too, is adept at the pull shot, more so than anyone in the current Indian team.
After winning the toss at the WACA on 12th of January, 2016, MS Dhoni decided to bat first.
Out came the Indian openers - Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. After Dhawan getting dismissed cheaply, Rohit Sharma was accompanied by Virat Kohli. Sharma scored a sluggish (by his standards) yet graceful knock of 171* that included 13 fours and 7 sixes. Kohli too played a very good innings of 91.
India managed to put up 309, which eventually proved to be insufficient after the hundreds by Smith and Bailey in the second innings.
