Rohit's ton in vain as India lose series-opener

Rohit Sharma's individual brilliance was not enough to make up for a floundering top and middle order as India suffered a 34-run defeat at the hands of a resilient Australia in the first One-day International, on Saturday. Sharma's 133 of 129 balls only helped in reducing the defeat-margin as India ended up at 254 for nine while chasing a 289-run target.
