Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli put up a clinical performance to put India in a dominant position in the decider of the three-match series against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma was first to get to his hundred followed by the skipper Virat Kohli who brought up his 32nd ODI century and became the fastest man in the history of ODI cricket to reach 9000 ODI runs.
Both of the classy batsmen were at their smashing best as they took the Kiwi attack to the cleaners. Rohit Sharma went on a rampage after completing his hundred and took 17 of his nemesis Trent Boult”s one over. Runs continued to flow afterward and the twitter went crazy on watching the insane display of stroke play from the batsmen.
Pune's pitch curator predicted 337. Ask him if Modi will win 2019.

Rohit-Kohli have put on an exhibition of batting in Kanpur. Made it look way too effortless. Today Pandya at 4 for me. #IndvNZ

Kohli hits towards deep. Dhoni starts running. Both have a chat, share an icecream, watch a movie and complete 2 runs before ball comes back

Excellent innings from Kohli. He's getting hundreds like we used to put tally marks in stats.

One of the most pleasing sites in world cricket is to watch Rohit Sharma bat. Century No. 15 in ODI's. Well played @ImRo45 #indvsnz

A century by Rohit Sharma is always an occasion because there are few better looking batsmen than him in the game. This has been a treat.
