India Next ODI Series In Australia: India ended the series with a win by defeating Australia in the third ODI. Australia won this ODI series 2-1, but Team India’s victory in the third ODI has made the hearts of the fans happy. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the heroes of this victory of India. There was an unbroken partnership of 168 runs between these two star players. Rohit Sharma scored unbeaten 121 runs in 125 balls. Whereas Virat Kohli played an unbeaten inning of 74 runs in 81 balls. But after this match played in Sydney, Virat-Rohit said goodbye to Australia.

Why did Virat-Rohit say goodbye?

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have already retired from Test and T20 International. These two star players of the Indian cricket team now play only ODI cricket. In such a situation, it can be assumed that this is the last tour of Rohit-Virat in Australia as cricketers. After leading Team India to victory in the third ODI, Virat and Rohit thanked the Australian fans who came to the stadium.

Next ODI series with Australia?

No next ODI series will be played between India and Australia till the 2027 World Cup. The schedule of the Indian cricket team till the next ODI World Cup is fixed. Whereas Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can announce their retirement after playing ODI World Cup 2027. In such a situation, it can be considered very difficult for Virat and Rohit to come to Australia for the next ODI series.

Rohit-Virat said- ‘Thank you’

Regarding his experience in Australia, Rohit Sharma said, ‘I have loved playing in Sydney. Memories of 2008 came before me, it was all very good. Rohit further said that I don’t know whether we as cricketers will be able to play here again or not, but I enjoyed every moment here today.

Virat Kohli also expressed his gratitude to the Australian fans and said, ‘I think we started here from 2013. I have loved coming and playing in this country, we have played a lot of cricket here. The Australian crowd has always supported us here on this ground.

India made ‘world record’

Rohit Sharma was in command of India’s ODI team for a long time. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Team India lost 15 consecutive toss in ODI, but even after changing the captain of the Indian team, the trend of losing the toss continues. Shubman Gill has been made the captain in the ODI series against Australia. Gill has also lost the toss in all three ODIs on the Australia tour. After losing the toss in Sydney ODI, the Indian team has lost the toss for the 18th consecutive time.

Where did the trend of losing the toss start?

Ever since the Indian cricket team lost the toss of the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup (ODI World Cup 2023), Team India has not been able to win any toss in ODI. Rohit Sharma was in command of the Indian team in the World Cup 2023. India won all the matches in that World Cup, but Team India had to face defeat in the final. After this final, India has not been able to win the toss in any ODI match.

• India’s streak of losing 18 consecutive toss started from the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup.
• After this, Team India played a 3-match ODI series with South Africa in December 2023, in which Team India lost all three tosses.
• In August 2024, Team India went on Sri Lanka tour to play a three-match ODI series. India could not win even a single toss in this ODI series.
• After Sri Lanka, India played a home series with England in February 2025. In this series, India made a clean sweep and defeated England 3-0, but once again Rohit Sharma could not win any toss in ODI.
• India played five matches including the final in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Even in this entire tournament, India won the title without winning any toss.
• The trend of Indian team continuously losing the toss in ODI is visible in Australia also. Now under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, Team India has lost all the tosses of this three-match ODI series.

In whose name did the record come before India?

The captains of the Indian team have also made a world record in losing the toss. Before India, this record was held by Netherlands. The Netherlands team had lost 11 consecutive toss in ODI between 18 March 2011 and 27 August 2013. India has long left Netherlands behind in this matter. With every toss lost, India is creating a new record.

Virat Kohli Performance In Australia: After Perth, the Indian cricket team has also faced defeat in Adelaide. But more than India’s defeat in these two matches, Virat Kohli’s form remains the topic of discussion. Virat was out for zero (0) in both the ODI matches against Australia. Former Indian player Irfan Pathan has advised Virat Kohli to improve his performance in Australia and has given a full proof plan for the Sydney ODI.

Will Virat’s form return in Sydney ODI?

Former cricketer Irfan Pathan talked about India’s star batsman Virat Kohli on his YouTube channel. Irfan Pathan said, ‘Two matches, two ducks, we have never seen this before. This does not usually happen. The reason for this could be pressure or being away from cricket for a long time or anything else. A lot is going on on social media regarding this. But we should be careful that it does not affect both the players. If the performance is not better, they will not play.

Irfan Pathan gave advice to Virat Kohli

Irfan Pathan further said, ‘How can Virat Kohli come out of this? He just needs to take a quick single so he can change the strike. When you have 2 ducks to your name, you only need one run. But for this they do not need to be disappointed. If Virat is disappointed then he will not be able to enjoy his batting. He needs to enjoy his batting. As soon as they spend time on the field, runs will start scoring automatically and they will not need to look back. He likes ODI cricket the most.

The lion of the cricket field, who ruled this game for years. That Virat Kohli is now at the last stage of his career, not we but every cricket legend is saying this. Although Virat’s fitness is excellent, it is believed that he will take retirement from ODI soon. Kohli was out for zero in Perth, the same happened in Adelaide also. Kohli could not open the account, but while returning from the ground to the pavilion, he did something which has upset the fans.

Virat Kohli came to bat in the 7th over, when India’s first wicket fell in the form of captain Shubman Gill. A big innings was expected from Kohli because he had previously scored centuries twice in the four innings played on this ground. But today he could not even open the account, Xavier Bartlett dismissed Gill and Kohli in the same over.

He thanked the fans, its video is continuously going viral on social media. Fans are worried that Kohli might announce his retirement now.

When will Virat Kohli retire from ODI?

Even before the series, it was being said that the performance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in Australia would decide their future. On a question related to this, coach Gautam Gambhir had also said that he is not thinking ahead, it has to be seen how the performance of both of them is in this series. Hope his visit will be good.

But for Virat Kohli, both the matches so far have been like a nightmare. After Perth, he was out for zero in Adelaide also. This is the first time in the career of Virat Kohli, who has played more than 300 ODIs, that he was out twice consecutively without opening the account. Now his gesture in Adelaide is scaring the fans that he might actually announce his retirement after this series. Because many fans want to see him play the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli flopped miserably in the first ODI against Australia. While former captain Rohit was out after scoring 8 runs in 14 balls, Kohli could not even open his account. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding both. Let us tell you that this rain-affected match was played for 26 overs, which Australia won by 7 wickets.

After playing the match-winning innings in the Champions Trophy final, Rohit Sharma came to play his first international match on Sunday. He looked in trouble even in the beginning on the bouncy pitches of Perth, he could not play a big innings and was caught in the slip by Josh Hazlewood. After this, Kohli came at number three, he too was playing international matches after 224 days. Kohli was out on zero after playing 8 balls.

What did Sunil Gavaskar say about Rohit-Kohli?

Despite failing in Perth, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli got the support of Sunil Gavaskar. Speaking to India Today, he said, “They were playing on the most bouncy pitches of Australia, it was not easy, especially for those players who have not been playing international cricket for many months. It was also challenging for Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, who have been playing international cricket continuously.”

Gavaskar further said, “Team India is still good, they have won the Champions Trophy. Don’t be surprised if Rohit and Kohli score big in the next two matches. They are coming back after a few months, the more they play, the more time they spend in the nets, and the more throwdowns they get, bowling from 20 yards from the reserve bowlers, the sooner they will get back to their rhythm. Once runs start coming from his bat, Team India’s total score will be more than 300,300.”

Second ODI is in Adelaide

The second ODI match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide on Thursday, October 23. Kohli’s record here is good, he has scored 244 runs at a strike rate of 83.84 in 4 ODI innings played in this stadium. He has scored a century twice on this ground, his highest score is 107 runs.

Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 131 runs in 6 ODI innings played in Adelaide, his highest score is 43. That means he has never been able to score even a half-century in ODI on this ground.
