It was fun – Rohit Sharma reflects on playing in Sydney

Rohit Sharma registered his 33rd ton in ODIs as his unbeaten 121 propelled India to a grandstand finish in the third ODI against Australia in Sydney. Sharma was instrumental with the bat in the second ODI as well, scoring 73 while he saved the best for the last, hammering home an unbeaten match-winning ton.

Talking in an interview on the sidelines after the game concluded, Sharma opened up on his relationship with Sydney. He talked fondly about the early days, when he first travelled Down Under while expressing his love for the game.

Sharma said, “I have always loved coming here, and enjoyed playing cricket at this venue (in Sydney). Brought back nice memories of 2008 (his first tour of Australia), it was fun, don't know if we're going to come back (as cricketers), but I've enjoyed every bit.”

He further added, “We've enjoyed playing cricket regardless of all the accolades over the years. Forget about what happened in the last 15 years, I've always loved playing here, I think it'll be the same for Virat as well. Thank you Australia.”
