India once again proved its mettle and emerged as the best chasing side by successfully chasing a huge 350 runs target against Australia and registered a six wickets win in the sixth ODI in Nagpur on Wednesday.
Chasing a huge score of 350, openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan once again provided a solid start for the Indian side by scoring 178 runs for the first wicket.
After the fall of Rohit Sharma, Dhawan and Kohli took the charge and both of them scored flourishing centuries. Dhawan lost his wicket by scoring 100 runs while Kohli scored an unbeaten 115 and guided India to victory with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
For Australia, Captain George Bailey and all-rounder Shane Watson each scored a century but went all in vain against the attacking batting of Indian side. Bailey scored his second ODI century and posted his highest career score of 156 from a mere 114 balls, which included 13 fours and 6 sixes.
The series is now level at 2-2 with one match to play on November 2, in Bangalore.
