India beat Australia by nine wickets and this has been a chase scripted by the two stalwarts--Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli! The two icons of Indian cricket stand tall together as India brushed aside Australia in the IND vs AUS 3rd ODI 2025 to take a consolation win as Aussies win the series 2-1! Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the players in focus for India in the IND vs AUS 2025 ODI series and their return to international cricket did not go as they would have liked. Rohit Sharma had managed eight runs in the IND vs AUS Perth ODI but bounced back to form with a stellar 79 in the IND vs AUS Adelaide Oval. Virat Kohli however, was in unfamiliar territory as he registered consecutive ducks for the first time in his career but showed why he was an ODI great with an unbeaten 74-knock, one that had glimpses of his past self. Rohit Sharma on the other hand, struck an unbeaten 121 An unbeaten 168-run partnership between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma saw India through to the victory with 69 balls left. The action in India's tour of Australia will move to the five T20Is now which will start from October 29. Meanwhile, fans will hope to witness Ro-Ko in action once again in the IND vs SA 2025 ODI series at home that starts on November 30.

India are 213/1 at the end of 36 overs and now need just 24 runs in the remaining 14 overs. This has been a cakewalk for India with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on song in Sydney.

HUNDRED for Rohit Sharma! It is his 33rd century in ODI cricket and the Hitman is well and truly back! The right-hander got to the mark off 105 balls and hit 11 fours and two sixes in this knock. Rohit Sharma had earlier scored 79 runs in the second ODI in Adelaide. 

25 Oct, 15:13 (IST)

Another record for Virat Kohli! He has become the second-highest run-scorer in ODI cricket, going past Kumar Sangakkara. He now stands just behind the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have kept India in total control here. Both right-handers have made this chase look very easy and India are in the driver's seat to win this match.

FIFTY! Virat Kohli slams his 75th ODI half-century as SCG celebrates the milestone by the ace Indian batter. Kohli took just 56 balls to reach the landmark, which was laced with four fours, and was chanceless. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is nearing his 33rd ODI ton. Both players have added 100 runs for the second wicket.

This has been pure bliss for all Indian cricket fans, watching Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play together in the middle. Both have played chanceless cricket and added 70-odd runs for the second wicket, taking India's total near the 150-run mark. While Sharma is approaching his 33rd ODI ton, Kohli is nearing his 75th half-century in the format. 

25 Oct, 14:30 (IST)

FIFTY! Back-to-back half-centuries for Rohit Sharma, and the former India captain has managed to hit back at all his critics, silencing calls for a retirement. Sharma needed 63 balls to reach his 60th ODI fifty, which is laced with six fours and one solitary six. This also notched up the 50-run stand between Sharma and Kohli.

25 Oct, 13:59 (IST)

This has a good little stand for India thus far between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have added 22 off 22. Both batters have looked to charge anything loose from the Australian bowler. Rohit Sharma is nearing his 60th ODI half-century as well, having already scored one in the last match. 

25 Oct, 13:45 (IST)

OUT! Another failure for captain Shubman Gill. Gill just came into his groove, having scored 24 off 25, but managed to poke outside the off-stump line and perished against Josh Hazlewood's disciplined bowling, handing the wicketkeeper a simple catch. Gill c Carey b Hazlewood 24(26)

Australia have produced an all-round performance so far in the series. Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc have been on spot with the ball in hand and Xavier Bartlett has provided them support. This has made India suffocate against the new ball and as a result, India has not been able to post very competitive totals. In the second ODI, Adam Zampa shone with the ball and challenged the middle order. The batting has contributed as a unit as well. While Mitchell Marsh, Josh Phillipe shone in the first ODI, it was Matt Short and Cooper Connolly in the second. India, on the other hand, has been good in patches. While the bowling attack tried their best in the second ODI, they didn't have enough in the bank to make it more tight. Shubman Gill, India's new captain, will have to aim for a better performance with the bat from his unit. Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis Return To Australia's Squad For IND vs AUS T20I Series 2025; Marnus Labuschagne Released Ahead of Final ODI.
