ROBIN THE TEAM-MAN

 While Rohit Sharma went on to score a massive 264 runs of just 173 balls , his partner Robin Uthappa played an equally important role for his team by scoring 16 runs of 16 balls .

At thursadays EDEN GARDENS Robin came at crease in the 40th over when India's total was 276/4 , but instead of playing a quick innings of 30 - 40 runs to impress the selectors in order to freeze his place in the squad of the upcoming Australia tour he chose to rotate the strike so that Rohit can get most of the strike as Rohit was hitting the ball sweetly at the moment .
