T20 WC: India post 205/5 against Australia after Rohit's 92
Gros Islet (Saint Lucia), Jun 24: Skipper Rohit Sharma blazed away to a 41-ball 92 as India posted an imposing 205 for five against Australia in their final Super Eights match of the T20 World Cup here on Monday.
Batting first, Rohit fired on all cylinders and struck as many as eight sixes and seven fours during his sparkling knock.
Unperturbed by Virat Kohli's early dismissal, Rohit went after pacer Mitchell Starc and bludgeoned him for 29 runs in his second over, setting the tone for India at the Darren Sammy Stadium.
Starc, who was taken to the cleaners by Rohit, returned to dismiss the India captain and give some relief to the Australian camp.
But Suryakumar Yadav (31 off 16 balls) and Shivam Dube (28 off 22) kept up the tempo with their big hits before Hardik Pandya (27 off 17) finished the India innings in style.
Brief scores:
India: 205/5 in 20 overs (Rohit Sharma 92).

Woman dies by suicide after killing her two children in Karnataka
Kolar (Karnataka), Dec 25: A 38-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide after killing her two children in the KGF taluk of the district on Wednesday, police said.
The woman has been identified as Thipamma, a homemaker, they said.
According to police, the woman and her husband have been married for 20 years and shared a strained relationship.
A marital dispute between the couple is suspected to have triggered the woman to take such a drastic step.
Citing preliminary investigations, a senior police officer said the woman allegedly killed her children—a seven-year-old daughter and a four-year-old son—by hanging them. After killing them, she also hung herself from a ceiling fan.
The bodies were discovered by her husband, who then informed the police, he said.
A case has been registered in this regard, police said, adding that the woman's husband was questioned as part of the investigation.
