All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma on Tuesday as the Hitman tries to get back to form in the third ODI match vs New Zealand in Hamilton. With the 2027 World Cup in mind, Rohit will look to shut the mouths of his critics and play an important knock at Seddon Park. The former India captain hasn’t been in the best of form in this series, having scored 0 and 23 in the first 2 matches
Also, regular skipper Shubman Gill will hope to seal the series here itself before he and other Test regulars leave the ODI squad to prepare for the upcoming 2-match Test series. After that, the reins will be in the hands of T20I captain Shreyas Iyer.
