😂 Rohit Sharma’s SCG Rampage: 121* Off 125 – From Duck Disaster to “Hitman Heaven” in 3rd ODI! India Crushes AUS by 9 Wickets! 🏏🇮🇳
Sydney Cricket Ground: Where Aussies bat first and Indians bat last… and laugh all the way to victory! 🏟️ AUS won the toss, batted, and crumbled to 236 all out in 46.4 overs. Rohit Sharma? Oh, he was just warming up with a casual 121* off 125 balls (13 fours, 3 sixes)—turning the chase into a Sunday stroll. India romped home in 38.3 overs for a 9-wicket demolition, leveling the series 2-1. Gill’s early 24 set the tone, Kohli’s unbeaten 74 added class, and Rohit? The Hitman who hit back harder than a boomerang. AUS bowlers? Starc’s 0/31 was polite, Hazlewood’s 1/23 a whisper, but Zampa’s 0/50? More like zero threat. Powerplay: AUS 63/1, IND 68/0. Extras: AUS gifted 12, IND pocketed 18 (wides like freebies at a buffet). Final margin? 9 wickets. Rohit’s form: From recent ducks to divine—series decider? Nah, India’s statement! Let’s unpack the hilarity. 😂
