NEW DELHI: India’s highly anticipated tour of Australia, kicking off on October 19, carries added significance as it marks the return of stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to Australian shores. However, Australian pace spearhead Pat Cummins believes this series could be the final opportunity for home fans to witness the Indian legends in action Down Under.
Kohli and Rohit, who have now retired from Tests and T20Is, will participate in the ODI series, the only international format they are playing, starting on October 19 in Perth. India are scheduled to play three ODIs and five T20Is on their limited-overs tour of Australia.
"Virat and Rohit have been part of almost every Indian side for the last 15 years, so this might be the last chance for the Australian public to see them playing out here. They’ve obviously been champions of the game for India and are always very well supported. Whenever we play them, the crowd gets loud, " Cummins said on JioHotstar.
