Nevertheless, it didn't come down to it as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli gunned down the target of 237 with nine wickets to spare to seal a consolation victory for the tourists.Rohit, who made a fighting 73 in the second ODI in Adelaide, continued his good form with an unbeaten 121 in Sydney. Kohli, who bagged two ducks in the first two games, stormed to form with an unbeaten 74 and added an unbroken 168 with Rohit. In the process, Kohli also became the second-highest run-getter in ODIs, surpassing Kumar Sangakkara's tally of 14,234.The Men in Blue needed only 38.3 overs to chase down the target, thereby preventing a series whitewash.
