After the retirement from Test cricket of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, cricket fans have been eagerly waiting for the upcoming ODI series so that they can witness the greatness of their favourite players. India is scheduled to play against Bangladesh for a 3-match ODI series from 17 August 2025. But the most awaited 50-over format cricket to see the prowess of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is the October tour for a 3-match ODI series. For this special occasion, Cricket Australia has arranged a special farewell to both the Indian batters, as this will probably be their last ODI series in Australia.

“This might be the last time that we get to see Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma play in our country. And if that is the case, who knows, it might not be, but if it is, we wanna make sure we give them a great send-off and a reflection of the incredible contribution they have made to international cricket.” Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg said.
