NEW DELHI: Indian cricket stalwarts
Virat Kohli and
Rohit Sharma, who recently bid farewell to Test cricket, are expected to return to international action in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia this October.
The duo had already retired from T20Is after India’s World Cup triumph last year.

Their return to Australia carries emotional weight, as it was the stage for their final Test appearances—adding a bittersweet dimension to their comeback.
The ODI series kicks off in Perth on October 19, followed by the second match in Adelaide on October 23, and the final game in Sydney on October 25.
Fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing the iconic pair back in action, as this series marks their first outing for India since shifting their focus exclusively to ODIs — a new phase in their legendary careers.
