The veteran batsman scripted history by becoming the first-ever Indian batter to score 1000 ODI runs against Australia on Australian soil. He achieved the incredible feat in the third over when he hit Mitchell Starc for a boundary. He reached 1000 runs in this fixture in 21 matches.
Overall, Rohit Sharma became only the fifth batter to score 1000 ODI runs against Australia in their own backyard. The current record is held by the legendary West Indian Viv Richards who scored 1905 runs in 40 matches. Richards is followed by his compatriot Desmond Haynes and Sri Lankan duo Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene.

Rohit Sharma top scores for India:
India were reeling at 17/2 at one stage before Rohit and Shreyas Iyer steadied the ship with a 118-run stand for the third wicket. Mitchell Starc broke the partnership by dismissing Rohit in the 30th over. Rohit's dismissal once again derailed India's innings as they kept losing wicket at regular intervals.
Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh shine
Harshit Rana (24*) and Arshdeep Singh (13) then came up with useful cameos to help India post a competitive total of 264/9 in the allotted 50 overs. For Australia, Zampa starred with the ball, taking 4 for 60.
India will be hoping that the score turns out to be more than enough as they eye a series-leveling win. The tourists need to win the match at any cost to keep the three-match series alive.
