Kohli has better chance of scoring century than Rohit: Pujara drops big verdict

Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes Virat Kohli is more likely than Rohit Sharma to score an ODI century against New Zealand. Speaking to JioStar, Pujara stated that Kohli's role batting at number three affords him more time to anchor the innings and build toward a hundred. By contrast, Rohit's aggressive duties during the powerplay as an opener make centuries more challenging.

Pujara also forecasted a competitive five-match series between India and New Zealand, predicting a 2-2 result with one match potentially washed out. He highlighted that New Zealand could gain an advantage because India plans to field different squad combinations across the first three games and the final two matches.
