I must say the commentators , fans in the stadium and even the broadcasting team are all huge supporters of Rohit and Kohli.
They don't want them to go anywhere
Yes, it's almost as embarrassing as Lahore crowd who were upset when Shan was not out because they had to wait to watch Bobby.
 
They will go series by series. YOu can't expect these guys to do well at 40.
Yeah but it will buy them alot more time. Eventhough it's a slim chase in a dead-rubber. There are quite a few home series in between too. You would expect them to score runs in those matches.
 
Eh seems like we let them win after feeling bad about the humiliation they received for the past 2 games.
Australia will never do that. They have to play a T20 series of five games and so they won't deliberately let momentum and psychological advantage go for the opposition team. One thing I understand is 3 ODI series could not say which is the better team. This has to be five ODI series. Same could be said of the two test series played between teams. Can we know which team is better based on two test series?
 
No but we felt bad for you. Its a secret ploy to have roko play till 2027.

We are the greatest team when it comes to playing mind games.
Waiting to see the mind games in the Ashes. Even ex Aussie players are giving England the edge.

India managed to draw with them away. Australia need to do even better since they are playing at home

I'll watch Ashes with you brother dw.

But beyond that some irl commitments are coming up, but till Ashes we can finally end our rivalry 👺. This time I am winning.
 
Good and comprehensive win for India. But is this partnership by two great ‘oldies’ good for India in the long run?
 
India is still heavily depends on Rihit-Kohli, Gill is not able to play long innings like these 2 and hez man of 1/4 century.

Aus win the toss series

And you have these non Indian fans celebrating this series loss lmao

Anyway have fun.

INdia drew level in 2 test series, India has been flying hihg in T20 without them. India doesn't need them.Wait and watch how India will do after they leave.

Not at all - Ind has abundant batting talent. Their absence will not even be noticed - if anything Indian batting scores might improve as the young guns might score much more rapidly.
Look at how the retirment of Kohli especially has done wonders to India's t20 outfit
 
Nice end to the series. Kohli and Rohit bow out from Australia with some not out knocks in a winning game.

This was a commercial series and it got the fairytale ending.
 
A fraud like Afridi should have never held that record.
Good to see all Pakistani records being taken.

Sachin took Anwar's 194 and now it is with Rohit.

Afridi fastest 100 also taken by Corey Anderson and now ABDV I think.

Murali took Wasim's ODI wickets record as well.
 
Letting oldie to score 100s and 70s is shameful for Australia that's too at home. :klopp :kp
One of the oldies you are talking about had two consecutive ducks in first two matches :p

Anyways, today's innings was to break that curse as the series didn't end in winning cause.
 
Too close to call. Usually, I give it 4-0 or 5-0 to Australia.

But Australia look vulnerable this time, plagued by injuries and age-related decline.

No pace replacements, no batsmen with credentials to replace Khawaja etc.

I'll give it 2-2 to Australia for now.
Time to call retirement on PP after Ashes then :vk2.

Even After Two Duck Virat Kohli scored more runs than Fraud Tulla Head in This series. Hahahahaha :klopp :kp
Australia won the series because they Bowled first in bowling friendly condition.

This Australian team is very average and full of Tullebaaz batsman.

Can't wait for T20 series when Indian youngsters Thrashed overhyped Tullebaaz team.

:kp

It's your lack of pace options. You usually have enough pace to spook them.

Now your trio have declined in pace and FC bowlers are all trundlers . The ones with pace - Jhye and Morris - are forever injured. Stanlake has disappeared as well

Ferguson, Bartlett types are 130 kph bowlers. Meat and drink for Bazball.

Smith, Starc, Lyon etc to retire from test cricket after the Ashes. I didn't see any bright upcoming Star coming for Australia in near future.

Australia ( Real ,not talking about wannabe) fans already discussed these things in another forums.

I don't think Ben Stokes will play all 5. Pat cummins looks like defo ruled out of at leeast the perth first test.

TBH Stokes is the talisman, the driving force. I would expect him to change the course of at least one test - one crazy batting innings, one unbelievable bowling spell or an insane runout/catch or just the sheer force of his persona extolling others to win/perform much more than their ability - that is what great leaders are all about.

If he plays at least 4, Eng could run aus close.

Where Eng have some superiority is a better and more balanced batting lineup (with stokes) than Aus but not by much.

Where Aus have a clear superiority is Nathan Lyon is head and shoulders above any Eng spinner.

However Pat Cummins, if he is not available for the first two tests and Stokes plays them - i see that as advantage England and a golden chance for them to hammer aus and get an unloosable lead.

However if both play all 5, i would predict 3-1 to Aus with one hard fought draw which will be exciting till the last hour of last session.

Whichever way - i feel it will be much more hard fought, evenly matched and exciting viewing than 2022 and 2017 Ashes. :stokes
 
Rohit and Kohli star as India hammer Australia

Third one-day international, Sydney

Australia 236 all out (46.4 overs): Renshaw 56 (58), Rana 4-39

India 237-1 (38.3 overs): Rohit 121* (125), Kohli 74* (81); Hazlewood 1-23

India won by nine wickets; Australia win series 2-1

Rohit Sharma scored his 50th international hundred as India thrashed Australia in the third one-day international to earn a consolation win.

An unbroken partnership of 168 between Rohit (121*) and Virat Kohli (74*) led India to their target of 237 with 69 balls to spare in Sydney.

Kohli, who was dismissed without scoring in the first two games which India lost, passed Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run scorer in the format.

The 36-year-old now has 14,255 runs in ODIs, but has some way to go to pass Sachin Tendulkar's record 18,426.

Australia won the toss and chose to bat, but were bowled out in the 47th over with seamer Harshit Rana taking 4-39.

Matt Renshaw top-scored with 56, his first ODI half-century having made his debut in this series, while the remainder of Australia's top six made scores between 23 and 41 but failed to push on.

Captain Shubman Gill was the one man to fall in India's reply, caught behind off Josh Hazlewood for 24, before Kohli and Rohit comfortably guided the tourists to victory.

The two sides now meet in five T20 internationals, with the first in Canberra on Wednesday.

Yeah. That's the thing. If Cummins doesn't play and Stokes does, England are in the drivers' seat.

I don't about 3-1 to Australia even if all are fit. Top3, Starc, Lyon - too many question marks about this Aussie lineup.

Lots of their big guns were missing and they still managed to win. I think this is what should matter.

Except Cummins, Pandya and Bumrah no big guns were missing and was close to the first XI. Both teams are trying out players to fill out spots.

Aus have a horde of batsmen who have retired - Warner, Maxwell, Smith and need replacements for them.

Now that Shami is most prolly finished India need new pacers and was trying out replacements for him (as well as backup for Pandya).
 
Perfect opportunity for Rohit and Kohli to retire on a high. They are unfairly hogging two spots which can go to a much younger player on the bench.
 
Prince's innings of 91 runs in the Gabba Test is more important than any innings of Tuktu Raj.

Tuktukraj international career is already finished while Prince career is at the top. He is Boss of indian cricket now.

Deat with this instead crying.

:klopp :kp
Tera princess jada din nahi tikega, even lost his no.1 ranking to baap Rohit. Can only dream of making a 100 vs Australia:dhoni

Gilli is boss of losing & drawing series.:ROFLMAO:

Stop crying for your princess:kp
 
Kohli & Rohit will play the 2027 World Cup & retire. Flop ftbs like Gill & Jaiswal can't handle swing & seam bowling, India will need these two veterans in 2027 squad.
Kohli should. His fitness alone is top-notch, even at this age. But I dunno about Rohit. He doesn't have the consistency anymore and Jaiswal is a fantastic talent who is more deserving of a place in the playing eleven.
 
I have watched both of them live today. In an ideal case , i think both should not play wc 27.in worst-case, only one should play as both of them are mostly consolidators like ms post 2015 wc or dhawan post 2019 wc.Both survived few tight calls and low score allowed them to settle. Any sort of 275 or 300 target will make Indian team to suffer.As we saw in first 2 odis, they are sitting ducks on any tough surface.For 27 wc, I will opt for kohli instead of rohit as tuk tuking .Jaiswal can be an enforcer and better replacement than tilak .

Don't count Indias T20 success against minnows like Pak, Srl, Bangladesh, Afghanistan.... yet they have to prove their metal against top teams i.e. Aus, Eng, NZ and SA. Question is not abt T20...its about ODI.... Gill has no ability to play long inning like RO-KO... if RO-KO not played today, it would have been whitewash by Australia

Yes kochi is 100% fit, but Rohit also done weight loss... His tummy is gone. RO-KO must play WC27.... Gill have no ability to play long inning and no capacity to win WC 27

Don't count Asia cup win as summit win as all participants were minnows... India yet to play top teams like Aus without RO-KO

Rohit may have lost weight but he still does not feel like he has the level of fitness for the top-level. Alot of that has to do with age too. Kohli by comparison, is a once-in-a-generation level athlete for the sport of cricket, so he will continue to defy age till 2027. Kohli's bigger issue is the decline of his hand-eye coordination and reflexes...so he will continue to find batting tough on surfaces that offer movement aswell.
