With India trailing 1-0 in the ODI series vs West Indies, the openers knew that a good start was the need of the hour. Well Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul did exactly that.
The duo put on an opening stand of 227 to set the base for a big total. KL Rahul compiled 102 in 104 balls with 8 fours and 3 sixes. Rohit finished with 159 from 138 with 17 fours and 5 sixes.?
The best part was that Rahul was out-scoring Rohit for most of the game but it was the latter who reached his hundred first. This was Rohit's 28th ton in ODIs while Rahul registered his 3rd.?
They failed to make substantial contributions in the first game but they came good this time.??
