“Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma… are the point! »: Bollywood actor after RoKo shines at SCG | Cricket News
India registered a resounding nine-wicket victory over Australia in the third one-day international at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday, with Rohit Sharma scoring an unbeaten 121 and Virat Kohli contributing 74 for no out in what could be their final appearances on Australian soil. The visitors managed to reach a target of 237 with 69 balls remaining, although Australia had already clinched the series with victories in Adelaide and Perth.The match featured a remarkable 168-run partnership between Rohit and Kohli, who have both bowed out of the Test and T20 formats, potentially making it their last innings in Australia before the 2027 World Cup.
After the victory, Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty, father-in-law of KL Rahul, posted: “It’s funny how quickly we forget…the records, the fights, the pride, the tears, the sacrifice. Two games in and suddenly everyone is critical.

But overall I will take the cricket I played here. »“Going out there and getting into a situation is always something that brings out the best in me and when Rohit bats it’s quite easy to spin the strike, we know each other’s game quite well,” Kohli said. “We want to thank you, we loved coming to this country.
