With Australia ODIs done, when will Virat and Rohit play next for India?

The ODI leg of India's white-ball tour is over which means Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be flying back to home. The duo only play in ODIs for India after retiring from T20Is last year and Tests earlier this year. Both of them came good in the final match of the three-ODI series but India lost 2-1. Rohit scored a fifty and a hundred after failing in the first match and was named Player of the Series as well. Kohli, on the other hand, scored two back-to-back ducks before scoring an unbeaten fifty in the final match. But the question is, when do they play next?
