Rohit Sharma’s 50 not out off 40 balls is his maiden fifty.
Rohit’s innings is now the highest for India against South Africa, eclipsing Dinesh Mongia’s 38 off 45 balls at Johannesburg on 1.12.2006.
The 85-run stand between Rohit and Dhoni is India’s best for the fifth wicket and the second best in Twenty20 Internationals, next only to the 119 unbeaten between Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul Haq against Australia at Johannesburg on 18.9.2007.
