One smashed an ODI century after a couple of years, the other was just happy that he got off the mark. The objective was the same, to get India over the line on their own, but how they achieved it was quite contrast. Kohli was just happy playing the second fiddle, scoring the boundary if the ball was there, if not, just kept giving Rohit the strike and wanted to stay in the middle since the target was manageable. Rohit, on the other hand, looked to count on the rhythm he got in the last game to score a bit freely this time around.
Obviously, the bowlers won it for India, no question about it. Harshit Rana, Washington Sundar and Co did the job with the ball, not letting any partnership to build as all of the top six Australian batters got starts but couldn't kick on to get their side's score somewhere around 270-280. 237 was always going to be a below-par target, even if you take the underconfident batting line-up into account.
Having a target in front of them helped both Rohit and the new captain Shubman
