Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma continue to defy age, trends, and expectations — not just with their bat, but also with their unmatched fan magnetism. In an unprecedented moment, tickets for the third ODI between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) have sold out four months ahead of the match.
Why the Sudden Ticket Frenzy?
The demand is largely driven by the star power of Kohli and Rohit, who have now restricted themselves to only ODI cricket for India. That decision has made every appearance a rare, emotional spectacle, and with both cricketers possibly playing one of their last series on Australian soil, fans are leaving no seat unsnapped.

Cricket Australia Confirms Full House at SCG
Cricket Australia’s Executive General Manager of Events, Joel Morrison, confirmed that all public ticket allocations for the SCG ODI and Canberra T20I have been exhausted.
“The Indian diaspora continues to drive strong engagement, and seeing legends like Rohit and Kohli together again is clearly a major drawcard,” Morrison said.

…have already booked thousands of tickets, ensuring Indian colours dominate the stands in every city. What’s more, community-led celebrations, drums, and dhols are expected to turn Australian venues into mini Wankhedes and Eden Gardens.

A Farewell Chapter for the Legends?
As Kohli and Rohit inch closer to the twilight of their careers, every inning becomes more than just numbers — it’s nostalgia, legacy, and emotion rolled into one. With over 90,000+ tickets already sold across the series, this isn’t just another tour — it’s a celebration of an era.
“Seeing them bat together in Australia again — it’s a gift,” said a long-time Indian fan in Sydney.
