Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli turned back the clock with a 168-run stand in what could be their Australian swansongs as India thrashed the hosts by nine wickets in the third one-day international on Saturday.
Chasing a modest 237 to win, the visitors reached their target easily with 69 balls to spare at a sold-out Sydney Cricket Ground.
Rohit top-scored with an unbeaten 121, but the biggest roar was for Kohli, who made ducks in the first two games won by Australia at Adelaide and Perth which clinched them the series.
This time he was back to his best with a fluent 74 not out.
Like Rohit, he has retired from Test and T20 duties and with no more ODI series scheduled Down Under before the 2027 World Cup it was almost certainly their final innings on Australian soil.
