India ended the 3-match ODI series on a high, avoiding a whitewash with a dominant performance at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Shubman Gill, despite losing yet another toss, opted to field first, defying conventional wisdom at this venue. Australia got off to a brisk start, but India’s bowlers ensured the momentum swung back.
Mohammed Siraj struck in the final over of the first powerplay, removing Josh Head, while India’s finger-spinners—Axar Patel and Washington Sundar—kept the scoring in check. Harshit Rana produced a crucial spell, finishing with 4/39, as Australia were bundled out for a below-par 236. Tight lines, clever variations, and persistent pressure frustrated the hosts, preventing any late surge.
In response, India’s openers provided a superb start, scoring 68 runs in the first 10 overs without losing a wicket. With Gill dismissed by Hazlewood, the spotlight shifted to the experienced duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The pair delivered under pressure, demonstrating the skill and composure that have defined their careers.
The atmosphere at the SCG was electric, with the Indian supporters creating a near-home environment. Every run was cheered, and Rohit and Kohli responded in style. Kohli notched his 75th ODI fifty and surpassed Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run-getter in ODI cricket. Rohit raised his 33rd ODI century, guiding India with authority.
The two veterans stitched together an unbeaten 168-run partnership, ensuring India cruised to victory with 11.3 overs to spare. Their performance not only salvaged pride for India but also reinforced their status as two of the modern game’s finest. With the series concluded, Rohit and Kohli once again demonstrated why experience, class, and composure are invaluable in high-pressure run chases.
Australia skipper Mitch Marsh won the toss and decided to bat first Both skippers after the toss: Mitch Marsh: We are gonna bat first. Seems like a really nice wicket. It's going to be a beautiful day here at the SCG. The way the young guys stoop up towards the back end, it's great signs for our team. Today's a great opportunity to go 3-0 up in the series. Cooper is a calm character and he played terrifically last game. Nathan Ellis is back in for Xavier Bartlett. Shubman Gill: We would have bowled first. We got what we wanted. We had just enough runs on the board. You got to take your chances. In the end, they played well. Two changes. Kuldeep and Prasidh come in for Arshdeep and Reddy.
