Steve Smith scored 131 in Australia’s 286/9 on Sunday afternoon before a Rohit Sharma century saw India chase down the target with 15 ballsꦓ to spare and t♛ake the three-match series 2-1.
Smith played gloriously all around the ground and became the fourth-fas🙈test Austr꧋alian to 4000 ODI runs along the way before he got out in the 48th over.
Smith nails the helicopter shot
Not eꦛven in 🐎his wildest of dreams, Navdeep Saini would have thought that Steve Smith would dispatch his delivery for a six over backward square leg after he bowled one well outside off.
In his usual nature, Smith walked towarಌds the off stump. He then pulled off a Dhoni-Esque helicopter shot for a maximum.
. would surely be very proud!

The Aussies were barely in the contest in the second innings as Ashton Agar took 1/38 off ten ove🌼rs and Adam Zampa 1/44, but the quicks all went for big runs.
Pat Cummins had one of the worst days of his ODI career with 0/64 from seven overs, while Mitchell Starc also went for 7.33 runs per over. Josh Hazlewood was more impressive with 1/55 in his first ODI in 14 months, but after Agar dismissed KL Rahul for 19, Rohit and Virat Kohli put on a show.
Rohit notched up his eighth ODI agಞainst Au🐷stralia to finish on 119 from 128 balls, while Kohli hit 89 off 92 before being bowled by Hazlewood.
