Rohit Sharma too got a century while Shikhar Dhawan missed his by five runs as the hosts, undaunted by a mammoth-like target of 360, won the second ODI against Australia quite comfortable by nine wickets to square the seven-match series 1-1.

Ruthless, merciless, savage, brutal... you would fall short of adjectives to describe the Indian batting as Dhawan, Sharma and Kohli scripted this stunning win, more than making up for some mediocre bowling on a batting paradise.

Sharma and Kohli shared an unconquered second wicket partnership of 186 runs. These runs came in just 17.2 overs. This is one knockout punch that Australia will find hard to digest.

Australia might have erred in electing to bat first. They perhaps did not take the threat of dew seriously.

Incidentally, this is the second highest successful run chase ever in the history of one-day internationals, only behind the amazing victory scripted by South Africa over Australia in 2006, overhauling 434.

You need self-belief to chase a 360-run target. India had plenty of that as Dhawan and Sharma led the show with a 176-run first wicket partnership. Dhawan did enjoy his share of luck too, being dropped by Aussie wicketkeeper Brad Haddin when he was on 18.

Sharma, though, did not need any luck. However, he had to overcome cramps for his unbeaten 141. Kohli made another statement of his talent, with a blinder of a 100 not out, which had seven sixes and eight boundaries. With the foundation having been laid for him, Kohli just launched into the onslaught as he would in a T20 game.

The required run-rate was still close to 8 when Kohli walked in. Ten overs later, it was below six. That should tell you the supreme faith that he has in his ability. However, it was Sharma and Dhawan who did the ground work at a stage when Mitchell Johnson was hurling down the new ball at 150kmph. Not only did they keep those thunderbolts away, but scored briskly too. Their approach came from a self-belief that the task wasn't really impossible.
