On Saturday, October 25, team India ended the ODI series against Australia on a high as the Men in Blue beat the hosts by nine wickets. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma stole the limelight as the veterans regained their mojo.
Rohit Sharma scored a century, while Virat Kohli played an unbeaten knock of 74 runs. The duo stitched an unbeaten 168-run stand for the 2nd wicket. It was a poetic end to the series as the entire narrative was around RO-KO, who were under the scanner before the series.

There were talks that Rohit and Virat needed to perform to remain in contention for the World Cup squad. However, they both proved their critics wrong and displayed swag after scoring the winning runs.
Talking about the post-match celebration, Virat Kohli has hogged the headlines for his special gesture. Notably, in the now viral video, Kohli, who was heading towards the dug-out, spotted an Indian flag lying on the floor and quickly stopped to show respect to the tri-colour.

Virat quickly picked up the flag and handed it over to the fan in the stands, and then went ahead to the dressing room. Kohli's gesture is doing rounds, and the fans are praising him for his patriotism.
Notably, Virat Kohli also silenced his critics as he is often trolled by the fans for moving to London and staying out of India for most of the time in the year. Notably, since announcing his T20I and Test retirement, Virat has spent most of his time in UK and also gave his fitness Test in Europe.
