In a spectacular display of cricketing prowess, India delivered a crushing nine-wicket victory over Australia in the third One-Day International (ODI) at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. The match, which could mark the final Australian appearance for Indian legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, saw the duo turn back the clock with a masterful 168-run partnership. Chasing a modest target of 237, India comfortably reached the total with 69 balls to spare. Rohit Sharma top-scored with an unbeaten 121, showcasing his class with 13 fours and three sixes. Virat Kohli, who had struggled in the first two matches, returned to form with a fluent 74 not out, earning the loudest cheers from the packed stadium. The victory was a fitting farewell to Australian soil for the two stalwarts, who have retired from Test and T20 cricket and are unlikely to return before the 2027 World Cup. Earlier, Australia’s innings faltered after a promising start, collapsing from 183-3 to 236 all out. Harshit Rana was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming 4-39, while Matt Renshaw top-scored for Australia with 56. The match not only highlighted India’s dominance but also celebrated the enduring brilliance of Rohit and Kohli, who have left an indelible mark on Australian cricket.
