(PTI) Mohali: Skipper Rohit Sharma rose to the occasion when it mattered most as his record-breaking third double hundred guided India to a series-levelling 141-run win against Sri Lanka in the second ODI here on Wednesday. India virtually batted Sri Lanka out of the game by posting the highest-total at this ground, surpassing the 351 for five South Africa made against Netherlands in 2011. Sri Lanka pacers were on the money in the series opener but they put up a performance they would like to forget sooner than later. After Dhawan departed, Iyer batted well alongside Rohit and came up with the big shots just when his team needed to step on the accelerator. Sri Lanka had no hesitation in bowling first, just like they did in Dharamsala, but the conditions changed quickly to the favour of the hosts.
