Team India has to tour New Zealand this month. India will play 3 tests, 3 ODIs and 5 T20I matches. Indian batsman Rohit Sharma has described the New Zealand tour as a big challenge for himself. He said, "Of course, it will not be easy for me to face the new ball and play against the bowlers who will come in the middle overs. The ball swings heavily outside the subcontinent. New Zealand's pitches are so helpful for its bowlers. But I am also ready for it. "
Rohit said, "New Zealand tour will not be easy. The last time we faced defeat in a Test series. But we fought hard. Our current bowling attack is completely different than it was then." The opener said, "Under any circumstances it is not easy to face the new ball. This is more difficult outside India. But we played 3 Tests at home against South Africa last year and I have never seen the ball swinging in India as much as in Pune (in the second Test). The opening overs bowled by the South African bowlers were damp in the pitch at that time and hence helped them a lot. In Ranchi (where Rohit hit a double century), we had lost three wickets quite quickly. I know what to expect, because the last time I was there (New Zealand) for the 2014 series. There will not be easy circumstances, but I am ready for this challenge."
Rohit Sharma has scored 2141 runs in 32 Tests. It consists of 6 centuries. He scored 556 runs at an average of 92.66 in 5 Tests played in the 2019. He scored 176 and 127 runs in both innings of the Visakhapatnam Test against South Africa in October and 212 runs in Ranchi Test.
