There is something about the ruthless Australians that brings out the
best from the Indian players and while the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and
VVS Laxman have always upped their game against the Aussies, the latest
Indian player who seems to have taken a liking for the Australians is
Rohit Sharma. While Rohit has scored 14 ODI centuries in his career, 6
of them have come against the Australians — the lates coming in Nagpur
on Sunday.
With Sunday’s century, Rohit crossed India skipper Virat Kohli and now stands behind little genius Tendulkar. While Kohli has 5 centuries against the Aussies, Tendulkar has the maximum 100s against them with 9 centuries to his name. Rohit sits equal with West Indies great Desmond Haynes while Laxman sits fourth on the list with 4 ODI 100s against the mighty Australians.
Interestingly, Rohit has the best average against the Aussies with an impressive average of 66.37. Even though Rohit sits on 6 centuries with Haynes, it took the latter 64 matches to score the centuries while Rohit has scored them in just 28 games.
Rohit’s record against the Aussies reads 1593 runs in 28 games at an average of 66.37 with 6 hundreds, 5 fifties and a double hundred. His highest score stands at 209, scored in Bengaluru. Rohit’s strike-rate against them sits at 97.73 and the Mumbai batsman has hit 128 boundaries and 58 sixes
