Manish Pandey smashed an unbeaten 104 in India’s six-wicket win in the fifth and final ODI against Australia at the SCG on Saturday. Chasing 331, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan set the tone for the chase with a fluent stand.
After opener’s show, it was Pandey’s cool head under pressure which sealed the game for India. Dhoni, too, chipped in with a crucial knock towards the business end of the chase.
