The India vs Australia ODI series has proved to be a hard watch for Indian fans so far. The long-awaited return of Ro-Ko on 19 October was spoiled by cheap dismissals in the IND vs AUS opener at Perth. The 2nd ODI in Adelaide saw Rohit Sharma come through with a tenacious half-century. However, the fixture also witnessed Virat Kohli registering consecutive ducks for the first time in his ODI career. With retirement speculations hovering over the veterans, India’s back-to-back defeats have left fans worried.
Meanwhile, the ongoing IND vs AUS 3rd ODI has provided a positive change in the scene. Put in to bowl first, the Men in Blue, led by Shubman Gill, made merry against the hosts, scalping timely wickets in Sydney. The opening innings also witnessed Kohli and Iyer taking brilliant catches as the visitors finally showed up in the India vs Australia series. However, while the match is still underway, the highlight of the 3rd ODI has already been identified, Virat Kohli bringing out his cheeky self.
While on the field, Kohli was captured breaking into a random dance — a widely liked trait of the senior Indian batter. Meanwhile, as the chase began and Gill departed, Kohli celebrated his first run. The IND vs AUS 3rd ODI saw Kohli finally open his run account. The Sydney crowd broke into a raucous cheer as Kohli stole a single to get off the mark. Matching the crowd’s energy, Kohli flashed his fist in the air in mock celebration before breaking into a cheeky smile.

Talking about the match, India look well-positioned to win the final India vs Australia ODI in Sydney. A four-wicket haul by Harshit Rana led to the hosts being bundled out for just 236 runs. Meanwhile, the chase is currently being anchored by Ro-Ko, as Indian fans rejoice at seeing the favourites bat together for an extended period for the first time in their comeback series.
