India lead the five-match ODI series 1-0 as Rohit Sharma, out for a duck in the opener, looks for a first century on New Zealand soil.
A five-match ODI series is under way between India and New Zealand after the T20 series ended. India won the first match to take a 1-0 lead. The second match is to be played on Saturday. Ahead of it, Rohit Sharma's record in New Zealand is being discussed, as his numbers there do not look special.
The experienced India opener has disappointed fans in this series. Known for powerful, aggressive shots, he failed to open his account in the first match and was out for a duck. A big innings was expected from him, but he could not last even one over.
Rohit, who has troubled bowlers with a rain of fours and sixes at grounds around the world, appears to struggle in New Zealand. He has not scored a single century there so far.
In ODIs against New Zealand, Rohit does have two centuries, but both came in India. He has yet to score a century on New Zealand's own grounds.
In 35 matches and 33 innings against New Zealand, Rohit has scored 1,134 runs, including 2 centuries and 6 half-centuries. In New Zealand, he has scored 437 runs in 15 matches and 14 innings.
For Rohit, a former India captain and a veteran batter, this series could be the last of his career. He is expected to play the coming World Cup, but it is difficult to say now when he would tour New Zealand again after that.
Rohit has amazed everyone in world cricket with his batting, and many records are in his name. Attention now turns to Saturday's second match, in which India will go in with a 1-0 lead in the series.
