ಆಸ್ಟ್ರೇಲಿಯಾ ವಿರುದ್ಧದ ಪಂದ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಯಕ ವಿರಾಟ್ ಕೊಹ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ರೋಹಿತ್ ಶರ್ಮಾ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ವೈಯಕ್ತಿಕ ದಾಖಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ್ದಾರಲ್ಲದೆ, ಜೊತೆಯಾಟಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಅಪರೂಪದ ದಾಖಲೆಯೊಂದಕ್ಕೂ ಕಾರಣರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

Indian bowlers had restricted Australia to 286 for 9 and while this total was not beyond their reach, Shikhar Dhawan had injured his shoulder while fielding and there were doubts over his participation in the rest of the game. This put a lot of pressure on KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to not only keep their wits about them but also to keep pace with the asking run rate.
