(Reuters) - Opening batsman Rohit Sharma smashed 125 to guide India to a convincing seven-wicket win against Australia in the fifth and final one-day international in Nagpur on Sunday, for a 4-1 series victory.

Chasing 243, the hosts cantered to their target with over seven overs remaining as Australia's listless bowling attack failed to pose any serious challenge.
