New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner expects India’s ODI stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to pose a major challenge when the teams meet in a five-match series later this year, while hoping the experienced batters do not again find the conditions in their favour.
Kohli and Rohit, who now play only ODI cricket, are set to return to action during India’s tour of New Zealand in October-November. The tour will feature five ODIs, five T20Is and two Tests.
