‘There was a lot of chatter between the two of us’: Rohit Sharma opens up about match-winning partnership with Virat Kohli vs Australia in Sydney

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli rolled back the clock on Saturday against Australia as the two Indian behemoths guided the Men in Blue to a 9-wicket win against Australia in the third and final ODI at Sydney. While the series was already lost after Australia won the first two matches, the veteran Rohit scored 121 and Kohli slammed 74 as the two icons gave Indian fans something to smile about.

“Yeah, fantastic partnership after a long time. I think we hadn’t had a 100-run partnership for a long time. It was good to get that partnership for the team’s perspective looking at how we were placed at one point. We lost Gill early. Not early, I mean, we still managed to get 40, 45 and then Gill got out. So obviously we knew with Shreyas not being there, it was an added responsibility for the batters and it was a great partnership. We enjoyed every moment we spent out there. There was a lot of chatter between the two of us. We played so much cricket together, we understand each other really well. It was about taking the game, understanding what was required at that point and it definitely comes with the experience as well. With so much experience between the two of us, we used it pretty well,” Rohit talked about the partnership with Virat in a video released by BCCI.
