Third one-day international, Sydney Australia 236 all out (46.4 overs): Renshaw 56 (58), Rana 4-39 India 237-1 (38.3 overs): Rohit 121* (125), Kohli 74* (81); Hazlewood 1-23 India won by nine wickets; Australia win series 2-1

Rohit Sharma scored his 50th international hundred as India thrashed Australia in the third one-day international to earn a consolation win. An unbroken partnership of 168 between Rohit (121*) and Virat Kohli (74*) led India to their target of 237 with 69 balls to spare in Sydney.

Kohli, who was dismissed without scoring in the first two games which India lost, passed Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run scorer in the format. The 36-year-old now has 14,255 runs in ODIs, but has some way to go to pass Sachin Tendulkar's record 18,426.

Australia won the toss and chose to bat, but were bowled out in the 47th over with seamer Harshit Rana taking 4-39. Matt Renshaw top-scored with 56, his first ODI half-century having made his debut in this series, while the remainder of Australia's top six made scores between 23 and 41 but failed to push on.

Captain Shubman Gill was the one man to fall in India's reply, caught behind off Josh Hazlewood for 24, before Kohli and Rohit comfortably guided the tourists to victory.

The two sides now meet in five T20 internationals, with the first in Canberra on Wednesday.
