Rohit made his team, India, return through the Australia tour. After a disappointing first ODI against Australia, the opener found his mojo. Since then, he has been playing effortlessly. At the age of 38, he is looking more dangerous than before.

In the third match against South Africa, when India was chasing a target of 271 runs, the opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit were firing on all cylinders from the beginning of the second innings. South African bowlers found it difficult to bowl against the Indian batters. Due factor perhaps played a significant role in Vizag behind the result of the match. India won the game by 9 wickets and won the 3-match ODI series by 2-1.

While Jaiswal got the man of the match award for his unbeaten century, Indian cricket fans are mesmerised by the elegance of Rohit Sharma. During the 75-run knock, the right-handed batter played all his signature shots against the visiting side.

Whether it was the experienced Lungi Ngidi or emerging pacer Corbin Bosch, the result was the same – Sharma replied with a full swing of the blade. The scintillating strokes from Rohit were enough to dismantle any bowling unit in the globe. He was unstoppable on the leg side. And those pull shots were like a hot knife in butter.
