That we're here for this moment. This guy has been at the centre of seismic shifts in cricket. Unquestionably the best one-day record," Copeland said.Rohit (121 not out) and Kohli (74 not out) stitched a 168-run alliance in just 170 balls for the second wicket to take India to 237 for one in 38.3 overs.Australia won the three-match series 2-1 but Rohit and Kohli gave the ecstatic Sydney crowd precisely what they wanted, while unfurling archetypal innings and in the process saved the team from an embarrassing whitewash.(With PTI Inputs)
