🏏India tour of Australia, 2025: Australia vs India, 3rd ODI, Sydney🏏 - Page 29

Virat Kohli Good to be out of the pond. The game shows you something even at this stage. It's so challenging when things aren't going your way. Situations in the middle get the best out of me. Easy to bat with Rohit, glad it was a match-finishing stand. From early on, we understood the game well. That's how you become successful. Even back in the day, we thought we could take games away from the opposition. It all started in 2013 vs Australia, in the ODIs at home. They also know that games are sealed if we batted 20 overs together. We've loved coming to this country, played some of our best. You guys have been brilliant, he says to the crowd.

Congratulations to team India and all the players....

Abinash Das: "Indian fans are not only relieved with the fact that Ro-ko found their mojo but also that all retirement rumours have been put to rest rather clinically."

Azweer : "It's bye-bye "Ro-Ko" from Down under. "

It's sAd that RO-KO have to go back now. Only 3 ODI s

Rohit Sharma | Player of the Match and Player of the Series That's what you expect in Australia, it's not going to be easy. You got to understand the situation. Haven't played for a long time, had a good prep coming here. We couldn't win the series but we still take a lot of positives. There'll be a lot of learnings for the youngsters. When I came for the first time, how the seniors helped up. It's our job to pass on the message. Never easy to travel abroad and play cricket. The guys are pretty talented, you need to have some game-plan. I still go back to the basics of playing and that's something I need to pass on to these guys. I love playing in Australia. In Sydney, I have a good memory, great place and great crowd. I love doing what I do and I hope continuing to do that.

Congratulations India for winning the match

Congratulations to Rohit for his century and Virat for his half-century

Shubman Gill, India captain We had a near-perfect game. Pulled things back in the middle overs. Chase was pleasing to see. Our spinners contained in the middle and pacers took key wickets. Harshit's bowled fast in the middle overs, we need that quality. Rohit, Kohli have done it for so many years. Delight to watch. Special win (first as ODI captain) on a special ground.

Mitchell Marsh, Australia captain We've seen Rohit and Virat do that over 10 years against lots of teams. We needed one more stand in the back-end of our first inns. Had a great platform at 3-195. Couldn't cash in. India too good with bat. I think the experienced guys who came into the side - Renshaw, Ellis, et al - we can be proud of winning the series after two games.

Congratulations 🎉 👏 to Team India for their outstanding victory against Australia.

What a wonderful win 🏅 with confidence and determination India won this match.’

Now, let us wait to see T20 series .
