Rohit Sharma smashed 125 runs to guide India to a seven-wicket win against Australia in the fifth and final one-day international in Nagpur on Sunday, for a 4-1 series victory. Chasing 243, the hosts cantered to their target with over seven overs remaining as Australia's listless bowling attack failed to pose any serious challenge.
Australia lost the first three ODIs of the series to concede an unassailable 3-0 lead but regained some pride with a 21-run win in the fourth match at Bengaluru. They would have wanted to gain some momentum with another victory ahead of the three-match Twenty20 series, starting on Saturday, but a clinical performance from India barely gave them an opportunity.
Rohit Sharma completed 6000 runs in ODI cricket as well as scored 2000 runs in India. After the match Twitter joined in the fun to toast Rohit's brilliant knock.
Here are some tweets celebrating India's win and Rohit's century:

The series was quite one-sided and that didn't escape Twitterati's attention
"Man of the Series" award should go to Steve Smith for playing the entire series and not leaving midway to prepare for Ashes #INDvAUS
