India today recorded their eighth successive win in a bilateral series and stand-in captain Rohit Sharma said the team needs to maintain the consistency in the upcoming tours overseas. Shikhar Dhawan struck a sublime hundred in the nick of time as India delivered yet again in a series decider to beat Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the third and series deciding final ODI. India will next play three T20s against the Islanders before embarking on a long away journey, starting with the South Africa tour. And Rohit feels the young lot of cricketers in the team are ready for the tough battles ahead.
