An Australian commentator couldn’t hold his tears back while watching Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli bat together probably for the last time Down Under.
The three-match ODI series was an emotional affair for cricket enthusiasts, especially for the ones who have stood by Kohli and Rohit through their ups and downs. They made their comeback to international cricket for the first time in seven months. Having retired from T20Is in 2024 and Tests earlier this year, the two former India captains are only representing the Men in Blue in the 50-over format.
During the third and final ODI, Kohli and Rohit forged a match-winning second-wicket partnership of 168 runs off 169 balls to help India chase down a 237-run target in 38.3 overs with nine wickets in the bank. While Rohit remained unbeaten on 121 off 125 balls, Kohli made 74 not out off 81 deliveries.
In a viral clip shared by Sen Cricket, an Aussie commentator was seen in tears watching the iconic duo doing what they do best, and that is taking India towards a victory.

Rohit emerged as the Player of the Series, scoring a half-century in the second ODI in Adelaide and an unbeaten century in the third in Sydney. On the other hand, Kohli didn't have a great start to the campaign, registering ducks in the first two ODIs. However, he showcased his class in the third ODI.
Australia might have lost the third ODI but they bagged the series after winning the first two matches. The two teams will now square off in a five-match T20I series, beginning with the first encounter on Wednesday, October 29, at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.
