Banglore: There was a typically busy effort from Steve Smith in the first part of the India-Australia series decider but it was the flair of Rohit Sharma and the class of Virat Kohli that won on the night. Chasing the stiff 287-run target set by the Australians here on Sunday night, Rohit and Kohli made batting look ridiculously easy on a track that was not altogether in favour of the batsmen, to take the Indian team to yet another ODI series triumph.

Smith's ninth ODI ton was no doubt a superb effort, but the former Australian skipper would be the first to admit that his knock paled in comparison to Rohit's 29th century. The Mumbaikar's stroke-filled 119 (128b, 8x4, 6x6) and his dominating 137-run second-wicket stand (145b) with his skipper Kohli (89, 91b, 8x4) meant that India were home and dry with seven wickets and 15 balls to spare.
