Virat Kohli scored his 75th fifty in ODI off 56 balls against Australia in the third ODI. He and Rohit Sharma are looking in great touch, with their second-wicket partnership crossing the 100-run mark. Notably, Kohli had been dismissed for ducks in the first two matches of the series.
Rohit Sharma remains unbeaten on 82, while Shubman Gill was dismissed for 24. India now need 62 more runs to chase down Australia’s target of 237 and secure a consolation win, making the series score 1-2.
When Kohli came to the crease, he was welcomed with loud cheers from the crowd. He immediately took a single, which was celebrated wildly, and followed it up with a fist pump.
