India Vs Australia, 3rd ODI: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Guide IND To Nine-Wicket Win In Sydney

Opener Rohit Sharma struck an unbeaten century, Virat Kohli made a fighting fifty while pacer Harshit Rana grabbed four wickets as India defeated Australia by nine wickets in the third and final ODI but lost the series 1-2, in Sydney on Saturday (October 25, 2025). After Rana came up with superb bowling figures of 4/39 to dismiss Australia for 236 in 46.4 overs, Rohit hit an unbeaten 125 ball 121 to make it a one-sided contest. Rohit shared a vital 69-run partnership with Shubman Gill (24) for the opening wicket before joining forces with Kohli (74 not out off 81 balls) for another unbroken productive 168-run stand as India chased down the target in 38.3 overs.
