Mitchell Marsh Hopes For 'not Too Much Great Cricket' From Kohli And Rohit
West Australian Cameron Green: Australia captain Mitchell Marsh is preparing for a blockbuster one-day series against India with a mix of excitement and good humour, admitting he hopes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma don’t produce “too much great cricket” in what could be their final appearance on Australian soil.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s opening ODI at Optus Stadium — a sell-out fixture despite a 90 per cent chance of rain — Marsh said the series promised to be a special occasion both for fans and players. With over 1,75,000 tickets already sold across the three matches, anticipation is high as two of India’s modern greats return to Australian shores.
“Had the privilege of playing against them quite a lot over the journey. They are obviously legends of the game,” Marsh said. “Virat, especially in this white-ball format, is the greatest chaser ever. I think you can see why the ticket sales are so high and why a lot of people are coming to watch them. And if it is their last time on Australian soil, I hope they enjoy it and I hope people can witness — not too much great cricket from them — but witness two of the greats playing in Australia.”
