Rohit scores 22nd ODI ton
Rohit scored his 22nd century in ODIs. He equalled former India skipper Sourav Ganguly and Sri Lankan legend Tillakaratne Dilshan. Rohit is now the third highest century-scorer for India in ODIs. Sachin Tendulkar (49) and Virat Kohli (38) are the two Indians ahead of him. This was Rohit's 20th ODI ton as an opener. He surpassed Dada's record (19).
Rohit hits seventh ODI ton versus Australia
This was Rohit's seventh ton versus Australia in ODIs. He has the second most number of tons versus Australia and needs three more to break Sachin Tendulkar's record (9). Rohit shared a 137-run stand with MS Dhoni. Dhoni scored his 68th fifty in ODI cricket. He now has 10,224 runs in ODIs and needs 11 runs to equal Virat Kohli (10,235).
Dhoni completes 10,000 ODI career runs for India
Dhoni became the fifth Indian to surpass the 10,000-run mark in the 50-over format for India. He took 330 matches to achieve this landmark. Dhoni joined the likes of Sachin Tendulkar (18,426), Sourav Ganguly (11,363), Rahul Dravid (10,889) and Virat Kohli (10,235). He had earlier completed 10,000 runs in ODIs, but that included a three-match series for the Asia XI side in 2007.

Dhoni registered his highest score since January, 2018 in ODIs. His previous best score was 42* against South Africa at Johannesburg in 2018.
