Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli delivered a memorable farewell in Sydney, with the SCG packed despite the dead rubber. Rohit scored an unbeaten 121 marking his 33rd ODI century while Kohli remained 74 not out as their 168-run partnership secured India's victory. The crowd, dominated by Indian supporters, gave standing ovations with "Here for Ro-Ko" banners everywhere. Kohli faced retirement speculation after consecutive ducks in Perth and Adelaide, making his first run in seven months significant. Rohit, who shed 11 kilograms for his comeback, finished with an ODI average of 90.80 in Sydney. Both legends, who endured disappointing Test farewells earlier, left Australian soil with the send-off they deserved.
