IND vs AUS 3rd ODI Highlights: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's heroics power India to nine-wicket win in Sydney

I have always loved coming here, and enjoyed playing cricket at this venue (in Sydney). Brought back nice memories of 2008 (his first tour of Australia), it was fun, don't know if we're going to come back (as cricketers), but I've enjoyed every bit. We've enjoyed playing cricket regardless of all the accolades over the years. Forget about what happened in the last 15 years, I've always loved playing here, I think it'll be the same for Virat as well. Thank you Australia.

That's it. Virat Kohli uses the ramp shot for winning runs as India beat Australia by nine wickets. India finish the ODI series 1-2. Rohit Sharma remains not out at 121 while Kohli was unbeaten at 74.

Normally, teams who have batted first went on to win the game at SCG. Interestingly, Shubman Gill was happy to bowl first. “We would have bowled first. Have a target on the total and then try to chase down, I think we got what we wanted,” Gill said at the toss.

The Indian players walk out in the field. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head will open the batting for Australia. Mohammed Siraj to start with the ball for India. Maiden over to start with. AUS 0/0 (1)

The third and final ODI is just few minutes away. Can India finish on a high?

Its going to be a high-scoring encounter. The pitch is rock hard and the ball will move initially for both the sides.
