Two of India’s biggest batting superstars, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, are nearing the end of their professional careers. The pair has retired from Tests and T20Is but remain available for ODIs with unending speculations over how long they will continue to represent India at the international level.
The two are potentially on their final tour of Australia as India cricketers currently and have drawn massive crowds at all three venues — Perth Stadium, Adelaide Oval, and Sydney Cricket Ground — where the three games of the bilateral ODI series were held.
The two have been serving Indian cricket for a long time now and stitched several memorable partnerships. A clip of the two having a brief chat while walking across and exchanging smiles during
the third ODI is going viral on social media with users gushing over their bonding.

India are eyeing a consolation win in Sydney after losing the first two matches.
Rohit and Kohli will also hope to end the tour on a high as speculations over their India careers continue following the first two ODIs.
In the first match, Rohit managed eight runs while Kohli was out for a duck in a rain-affected match which India lost by seven wickets. In the second ODI though, Rohit scored a fine half-century, but Kohli recorded another duck with India losing the match by two wickets to concede the series.
In Sydney, Indian bowlers produced an impressive show to limit Australia to 236 all out thanks to a career-best bowling performance from young pacer Harshit Rana, who took 4/39 from 8.4 overs. For Australia, Matt Renshaw scored a maiden half-century before becoming Washington Sundar’s victim, who finished with 2/44.
The two teams will lock horns in a five-match T20I series from October 29.
