Team India ace batter Virat Kohli cut a relieved figure after getting off the mark, and ending his streak of ducks, in the third ODI against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Saturday, October 25. The legendary player issued a fist pump and displayed a sheepish smile after safely recording his first run of the series.He walked out to a massive reception by the crowd to tackle the run chase following a brisk start by openers, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. The No.3 batter had departed without scoring in Perth and Adelaide, and was at risk of an unprecedented third consecutive duck.Kohli, however, dispatched that thought and made sure to be off the mark straight away as he tucked away a Josh Hazlewood delivery to mid-wicket for a quick single. His first run was met with a raucous cheer from the full-house crowd at the iconic venue as well. Have a look at the moment right here.
