Rohit Sharma ton steers India to 302 for six against B

Rohit Sharma rose to the occasion with a scintillating century as India scored a commanding 302 for six against Bangladesh in the quarter-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup. Rohit's spectacular 137 off 126 balls and his rollicking 122-run fourth wicket stand in only 15.5 overs with the belligerent Suresh Raina (65), the 'Men In Blue' were able to post a competitive total despite some tight bowling by Bangladesh for the better part of the Indian innings.At one stage India were in a bit of trouble at 115 for three before Rohit and Raina bailed the team out of the tricky situation.In the last 10 overs, India managed to score 97 runs. This was Rohit's seventh ODI hundred that had 14 fours and three sixes, while Raina had seven fours and a big six off Shakib Al Hasan to his credit in his 57-ball innings. Rohit's penchant for scoring big hundred was again evident as he now has two ODI hundreds at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (he has scored 138 vs Australia) and has got runs when it mattered the most, in a crunch game, with his team under some kind of pressure.
