Chasing a 294-run target, Rohit and Ajinkya Rahane provided a good foundation to the Indian innings, posting 84 runs in 13 overs. But it was Rohit, who entertained the packed Holkar Stadium crowd. He reached the fifty with a six.

At the time of filing the report, he already hit four sixes, with the third one sailing out of the ground.

Here are the videos:

First, he played a pull shot against a Pat Cummins delivery in the fifth over. It was just the warm-up for him.

Then came a mighty hit. He shimmied down the track, but Kane Richardson spotted it and shortened the lenght. It meant nothing as Rohit played a pull shot to perfection, and the ball sailed over the stands. The ball went some 103 metres, and umpires called for a new ball.

It's his fastest fifty in ODIs going past the 43-ball fifty against Sri Lanka in Pallekele last month.

Earlier, Steve Smith won the toss and opted to bat first. The visitors rode on Aaron Finch hundred to post 293/6 in their must-win game.

India lead the five-match series 2-0 after wins in Chennai and Kolkata.
