After having abstained for a while, Virat Kohli and Rohit will now be gracing us with their presence in the impending Australia tour that consists of three ODIs and five T20Is from October 19. The return of these two stalwarts would stir immense emotion, and the fans have pretty much gotten on to ticketing in a hysteria.
The trio of ODIs will be conducted at Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney, and the tickets are going for a steal. According to Cricket Australia, the tickets for the series have been sold in a number exceeding 175,000, there are less than 30,000 tickets remaining for the 8 scheduled matches.
Bearing in mind, tickets for the 3rd ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground have already been exhausted. The third ODI is scheduled to be played in Sydney on Saturday, October 25, and seemingly will mark Rohit and Kohli’s final 50-over appearance down under. Fewer than 5,000 tickets remain at the Adelaide Oval.

Virat and Rohit wouldn’t have been around for the T20I set-up in India, putting into question whether Cricket Australia would ever be able to hype up the veteran-free period of the T20I series. However, as recent news goes, it looks like Melbourne Cricket Ground has already sold all out tickets for the second T20I on October 31.
Cricket Australia confirmed the melting-away of the tickets for the public release for Melbourne T20I more than three weeks ahead of the game. Among reasons for this craze is India’s recent triumph in the Asia Cup and the borderline-aggressive style of cricket that can attract any crowd in the world there is.
Fans also link this sell-out crowd at the MCG, which is the second-largest stadium in the world, to raise the profile of Abhishek Sharma, who is the world’s No. 1 T20I batter.
