Men in Blue complete series victory at the Chinnaswamy
Indian limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma led the chase from the front, as he brought up his 29th ODI ton as well as surpassed the 9000-run mark in the 50-over format of the game. By doing that he became the second-fastest batsman to get there and overtook Sourav Ganguly in the list. The 'Hitman' was dismissed for 119. Virat Kohli came very close to his 44th ton before Josh Hazlewood got rid of the Indian skipper for a 91-ball 89. From there on, Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey took over the reins and completed the win for the home side.
This was sweet revenge for the Virat Kohli-led side after they were stunned by the five-time world champions who had won the five-match ODI series 3-2 after having lost the first two matches when they had toured India in March last year.
