Rohit Sharma will hold key for India in five-match NZ vs ND ODI series.
Rohit Sharma will be in action again when India take on New Zealand in a five-match ODI series. The high-intensity series between the teams will begin on November 4 and will provide a great opportunity for both teams to test their combination for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027.
Rohit Sharma will be under the spotlight again as he has expressed his desire to feature in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027, a time when he will be 40 years old. Ever since he was sacked as captain, there has been immense scrutiny over his place, especially with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the ranks.
However, every time there have been doubts, he has replied to critics in style. During the England ODIs, it was said that the third game at Lord’s would be his final match as selectors have decided to move on from him. But he hammered a brilliant century, becoming the first India batter to hit a century at Lord’s in ODIs.
Then, he proved his might even in the home series against West Indies. The premier opener hit a century in the second match and then followed it with a knock of 93 in the last game, where conditions looked tough to bat.
Going into the New Zealand series, Rohit would be confident, especially with the form he is carrying. He will also have several milestones to achieve, and here in this article, we take a look at them
