Virat Kohli, left, and Rohit Sharma
Because he bats at number three, but for Virat, the chances are slightly higher. Because india will field different combinations in the first three matches and the last two, he believes New Zealand could have a slight advantage. Because you aren’t playing the same team in all five matches, so, I think New Zealand have a slight advantage.
So, for a batsman coming in at number three, scoring a century in the ODI format becomes a bit easier,” the former India batter said. So, I feel Virat has more chances of scoring a hundred in New Zealand than Rohit,” Pujara told JioStar, as quoted by news agency IANS. “The way Rohit bats, he has a role of providing good starts in the powerplay. In New Zealand, maybe that role changes, so he could go for a century. His game is more about playing the anchor role. “The opener’s role is also defined, but in New Zealand conditions, that changes a bit. Pujara also expects the five-match series to be closely contested. he expects the team to face a tougher challenge in the remaining fixtures While Pujara is backing India to do well in the first three games. “Two-all. In the first three matches, one team is playing, and then, in the last two matches, another Indian team is going to play. I’m still backing the Indian team in the first three matches, as I feel they will do well. “The last two matches could be a bit of a challenge, but it will be a hard-fought series. And it rains in New Zealand, so probably one match will be a washout,” he added.
