‘Rohit, Virat Are Still Very Good Players’: New Zealand Captain Wary of Their Threat in November
Mitchell Santner said the five ODIs will test New Zealand before World Cup preparation and two Tests against India.
- Ahead of the upcoming October-November tour, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner warned his team about the threat posed by veteran stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
- India's tour comprises 10 white-ball matches and two Tests, a structure Santner noted reflects New Zealand's long-standing scheduling patterns and economic priorities favoring limited-overs cricket.
- Kohli and Rohit now focus exclusively on the ODI format, with Santner noting the pair has historically enjoyed success on local New Zealand pitches during previous visits.
- The five-match ODI series serves as preparation for next year's World Cup, before the sides shift to two crucial Tests following New Zealand's 3-0 series sweep last time.
