Rohit Sharma partnership with Tendulkar for Indian victory

It was a fantastic night for Indian in Australia. Indian team beat world champion’s Australian Cricket team during their match against CB series best of first final. It was a superb innings from Tendulkar, his first hundred in Indian soil. Rohit Sharma provided and great support for Tendulkar.

Tendulkar scripted a magnificent unbeaten 117 and shared a 123-run fourth-wicket stand with Rohit Sharma to take India to an emphatic six-wicket win and a 1-0 lead in the CB Series finals.

Earlier of the day Indians ball well to restrict Austrians for formidable 239. Their fast ballers and slow ballers did a good job. Young Rohit Sharma and Indian team was sharp on the field. Latter of the day Indian openers did a good job to reach 50 for the first time in the series. Again we sow a disastrous running between wickets and at 3 for 87, the match was perfectly in the balance, before Tendulkar found the perfect ally in Rohit, and their stand turned out to be the match-defining one. With Rohit secure in defence and attack, it allowed Tendulkar to play normally too, and what followed was a treat.

At the other end, Rohit showed why he is held in such high regard by the experts. He began with two glorious straight-drives off Bracken, and then continued in such serene fashion that Australia scarcely had a sniff. He finally fell immediately after Tendulkar's hundred, but by then the result was only a formality.

Rohit Sharma got word of phrases from Tendulkar “I've played a few games with him but this was the first time we had a long stand. He is extremely calm and composed and that's his strength. He showed terrific character and has a wide range of shots. What's more his shot selection was also very good."

Rohit Sharma came to the wicket when score was 87 -3 after Yuvraj Singh was out and batted 87 balls and score 66 runs, strike rate of 75.86. He balled one over for 5 runs too during the match as well. Good work Indian Cricket team, keep up the good work for next game as well.
