Rohit Sharma in Sri Lanka

Rohit averaged just over 14 before this tour in Sri Lanka in the limited overs cricket. But he changed it big-time during the recently concluded One Day Series which India won emphatically by 5-0. He managed to score 302 runs with two centuries and a half-century. Both his centuries were match winning ones and contrasting as well. His century in the third ODI was attacking when India batted first and amassed a total of 375. But his second one was a very matured inning, where he needed to consolidate the innings when his team was down at 61/4. The opener managed successfully and took India over the line while remaining unbeaten.

He would love to continue his rich vein of form for the upcoming Australia as well.
