“I forgot what we wanted to do, had plenty of discussions with the team about the toss decision, just wanted to challenge ourselves under difficult conditions, but we’ll bowl first. Was a good test for us, knowing that the wicket will get better to bat on and that was the challenge in front of us,” Rohit Sharma said during the toss.

IND vs NZ: Gautam Gambhir questions Rohit Sharma’s form, says Rohit failing to convert starts into a big score
It has been 17 ODIs since Rohit Sharma scored a century in ODIs. The opening batter is getting starts but is failing to convert it into a big score. Gautam Gambhir feels Rohit is messing up with his chances and putting pressure on other batters.
While it is 17 ODIs for Rohit Sharma without scoring a hundred overall, the right-hand batter has gone 51 matches without scoring a century. “I think we should talk to him in the same space like we used to when Virat didn’t get a 100 in last three and a half years,” former India batsman Gautam Gambhir said. “We should be equally hard on Rohit because 50 innings in international cricket is quite a lot,” Gambhir said on Star Sports about Rohit’s recent form.
Since that 119 in Bengaluru, against Australia in 2020, India skipper has scores of 28, 25, 37, 60, 5, 13, 76, 0, 17, 27, 51, 83, 17, 42, & 34 in the last 15 innings. The opening batter has scored only three fifties in this period and has got out on most occasions after getting off to a good start.
