Tickets for the third ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) are selling out at an astounding rate, four months before the first ball is bowled, demonstrating the excitement surrounding India's white-ball trip of Australia. The immense draw of this Indo-Australian rivalry, especially when headed by two of the current greats of the game, was highlighted by Cricket Australia's announcement that all public ticket allocations for the blockbuster Sydney match and the first Twenty20 International in Canberra have been completely used up.

The lasting star power of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have both switched to exclusively playing ODI cricket for India, is at the center of this extraordinary demand. Every game the two legends play together on the pitch has become a must-see event due to their restricted availability, and the Sydney ODI will be no different.

This ODI is a special occasion for supporters since it may be one of the last few times they get to see two of India's best players, Rohit and Kohli, play in Australia. Every inning is now a mix of nostalgia, celebration, and history, as both athletes are approaching the twilight of their illustrious careers.

Joel Morrison, Cricket Australia's Executive General Manager of Events & Operations, acknowledged this emotion, saying, "We are thrilled to see continued strong engagement amongst the Indian diaspora, driven in no small part by the anticipation of seeing legends like Rohit and Kohli in action." Every element of a smash is present in the Sydney ODI.

The electrifying atmosphere will be enhanced by the overwhelming number of Indian supporters. Thousands of tickets have already been purchased by fan groups such as Bharat Army and Fans India, transforming Australian locations into India's de facto home stadiums. The ticketing frenzy has also been fueled by community organizations like the Indian Community of Gold Coast and Brissy Baniyas, which have helped to create vibrant audiences and a celebratory atmosphere in all locations.

The series begins in Perth on October 19 and concludes on November 8 in Brisbane with the last T20I. However, Sydney, with its history, crowded grandstands, and stage prepared for legends, is where the tour's emotional high point is expected to be.

This tour is turning out to be more than simply cricket—it's a farewell chapter in the tale of two icons, taking place in front of packed stadiums and adoring fans, with each Rohit-Kohli appearance seen as a celebration of an era. Over 90,000 tickets have already been sold throughout the series.
