India secured a nine wicket victory with almost 12 overs left, chasing down a subpar total.

However, the highlight of this match will always be the partnership between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, showcasing to the Australian crowd what they will be missing in the future.

They rolled back the years, forming a classy 168-run partnership. Kohli made a strong comeback with 74runs(not out) after two ducks, but it was Rohit Sharma’s 121(not out) that stole the spotlight, marking his 33rd ODI century.

Rohit Sharma’s love for the SCG(Sydney Cricket Ground) continues as he notched up his 60th ODI fifty – his third at this ground and second in a row.

The moment we had all been waiting for finally arrived.

Kohli joined Rohit after Shubman Gill was dismissed. He navigated through a few tense moments before hitting three quick boundaries.

The partnership between these two batting legends is flourishing, while Australia is eager to dismiss at least one of them.

Australia was bowled out for 236, with Matt Renshaw scoring 56 and Mitchell Marsh contributing 41, but no one else really stepped up.

The hosts looked like they might reach nearly 300 at one point, but a collapse just before the 40th over allowed India to regain control.

All bowlers got in on the action with wickets, but Harshit Rana gained some confidence with a 4 wickets haul.

India heads into the second innings with a slight edge.

Kuldeep Yadav finally gets his shot to showcase his talent in the ODI series against Australia.

Prasidh Krishna is also included, while Nathan Ellis joins the Australian side.

Shubman Gill and his team arrive at the legendary SCG aiming to avoid a 3-0 sweep after a close loss in Adelaide made the series out of reach.

The home team, energized by two solid victories, will strive to maintain their form and build on the momentum they’ve established, aiming for a clean sweep.

The clash at SCG isn’t just about stats or trophies for India. It’s about honor and dignity.

Players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be keen to leave Australia with something to show for their efforts on this final trip down under.
