<p>India has beaten Australia by 9 wickets at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground in the third and final One Day International of the series.</p>
<p>Although the Men in Blue have lost the series 2-1, this win will be a massive moral victory, especially for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who were surrounded by speculations of potential retirement ahead of the tour.</p>
<p>Most importantly, Rohit scored his 33rd hundred in the 50-over format (121 overall), and second at this venue. Kohli, on the other hand, finished the match with a 50+ score (74 runs) after getting out of ducks in Perth and Adelaide.</p>
<h2>India Restrict Australia At 236</h2>
<p>Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to bat first, a call that looked spot-on in the early stages. He and Travis Head put on a brisk 60-run opening stand, setting a solid foundation and hinting at a big total for the hosts.</p>
<p>But Australia’s momentum didn’t last long. From cruising at 60/0, they suddenly stumbled to 88/2, losing both openers in quick succession. The middle order failed to build any lasting partnerships, and the innings began to unravel.</p>
<p>Young pace all-rounder Harshit Rana emerged as India’s standout performer with the ball, delivering a fiery spell. He finished with impressive figures of 4 for 39 in 8.4 overs, maintaining an excellent economy rate of 4.50, a performance that kept Australia in check and swung the momentum back in India’s favor.</p>
<h3>Kohli-Rohit Dominate The Aussies</h3>
<p>Rohit Sharma looked in great touch from the get-go, picking up right where he left off in Adelaide. </p>
<p>He stitched a 50-run partnership with Shubman Gill, and when the first (and only) wicket fell at 69, in walked Virat Kohli. He had two ducks coming into this match, but looked like a completely different player today. </p>
<p>The Ro-Ko duo rotated the strike on a regular basis, striking the ball confidently, and hit boundaries whenever required. The Hitman’s century and The King’s half century stitched a solid 9-wicket win against Australia in Australia, the match finishing with 69 balls to spare.</p><p>India has beaten Australia by 9 wickets at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground in the third and final One Day International of the series.</p>
