Riding on batters' collective effort, Australia posted a mammoth 352-run total in the final ODI of the three-match series against India in Rajkot. However, in response, India got off to a flying start, as skipper Rohit Sharma took on the Aussie seamers in the power play. During his breezy knock, Sharma shell-shocked ace Australian seamer Mitchell Starc with a huge six over extra cover. 

The incident took place in the third over when Starc was introduced to bowl the second over of his first spell. After hitting a boundary in the second ball, the Indian skipper launched the third delivery over the extra cover for a glorious six. 

It was a full length delivery from Starc, as he invited Sharma for a drive. The batter obliged, hitting the left-arm pacer for a massive six over the extra cover fence. 

Sharma also went after Starc's bowling partner Josh Hazlewood, hitting him for a huge maximum through his trademark pull shot. 

On the other hand, Washington Sundar, who has been promoted to the top order, hit a gorgeous boundary off Josh Hazlewood to gain some confidence. As of writing, India are 44 for no loss in 6.2 overs, with Sharma and Sundar batting on 34* and 10*, respectively.
