Virat Kohli scored his 24th hundred in the third ODI of the VB series at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Virat came after the fall of Rohit Sharma early in the match. But, Shikhar Dhawan played a good innings of 68 runs. He built an 119 runs partnership with Virat that played an instrumental role to get India a mammoth total.
Australia winning the asked India to bat. Virat unlike in the last two matches stretched his innings and complete his hundred. He today has become the fastest batsman to score 7000 runs.
