A magnificent roar heralded the century by Rohit Sharma on Friday afternoon when the India opener danced down the track like a Bollywood star and nailed a lofted shot over mid-off against Todd Murphy. As heir apparent to the batting greats of the generation before him, the next big thing from the storied Mumbai school of batsmanship, great things were expected of him. And expected of him instantly. 

The Aussies made quick work of the Indian top order with a collapse seeing the hosts lose four wickets for 151 runs on Day 2. After a lively first innings in Nagpur on Thursday, the Men in Blue clung on with Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav with India at a time trailing by only 14 runs on the second day.
