Rohit Sharma slammed his 33rd ODI hundred in 105 balls.

Indian Cricket Team batter Rohit Sharma has silenced all the critics after his heroics with the bat in the third ODI against the Australian Cricket Team. The match between the two teams took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Saturday, October 25.

Rohit Sharma, who made a return to the Indian team after seven long months in the ongoing series against Australia, racked up a magical ton in the last match of the series. This came after the talks of his retirement took the headlines, especially after his failure in the opening game in Perth.

However, he made sure that he let his bat talk and in the very next match in Adelaide, he played a brilliant innings, hitting a gritty fifty. And in the last match in Sydney, he took his game to the next level, where he looked at his fluent best.

In the chase of 237, Rohit provided India with a brilliant start. He looked his fluent best as he played some magical shots throughout his innings. Despite, India losing skipper Shubman Gill (24) early, he took the onus on himself and played a blinder.

In what was his second consecutive fifty of the series, Rohit Sharma made sure that he converted his start into a big one. The premier batter batted with complete control, hardly putting a foot wrong in his innings and paved his way to a magical century.
