Sydney, October 25, 2025: India showcased a dominant performance to defeat Australia by 9 wickets in the third ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground, ensuring they avoided a clean sweep in the series, which Australia won 2-1.
Australia managed a total of 236 runs, but the Indian bowling lineup, spearheaded by Harshit Rana, put the hosts under pressure. Rana was the standout bowler, taking 4 wickets for 39 runs, while spinners Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar controlled the middle overs and restricted scoring opportunities.
Chasing 237, India’s batting was led by Rohit Sharma, who remained unbeaten on 121, marking his 33rd ODI century. Virat Kohli provided strong support with 74* runs, guiding India to victory in 38.3 overs. Kohli also surpassed Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run-scorer in ODI history.
The match had a moment of concern as Shreyas Iyer sustained a left rib cage injury while fielding. He was promptly taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
India’s win boosts team morale as the focus now shifts to the upcoming T20 series, demonstrating the squad’s depth and resilience despite Australia’s overall series triumph.
