Poll<\/p>\n

Who played a more crucial role in securing India’s victory against Australia?<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy playing in Australia in general. This was the perfect day again to get a big one and get the team through. We had the opportunity \u2014 the bowlers did a fantastic job of restricting them first up. With that score, I thought they were a little under par. Credit has to go to the bowlers for the way they bowled.\u201d\u201cOnce we started to bat, obviously upfront with the two new balls, it was a bit challenging. The pitch was slightly misbehaving at the start, and we knew once the shine of the ball was off, it would get a little easier. So that was the plan. I wanted to bat as deep as possible and see how we could take the game till the end,\u201d said Rohit in a video posted on BCCI.tv on Sunday.
