Ahead of the ODI series against New Zealand, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had a hilarious encounter with net bowlers in Auckland. Rohit was left suprised after Kohli put him in a spot regarding bats.

The first ODI between India and New Zealand is set to take place on November 4 at the Eden Park in Auckland. Hence, as part of the final preparation plan, the Indian team participated in a practice session on Tuesday.

Virat Kohli puts Rohit Sharma in trouble

Meanwhile, CREX correspondents present during India’s practice session, a couple of net bowlers approached Rohit Sharma to check out his bats before asking him to give them one. However, Rohit declined their request, prompting them to turn towards Kohli in search of a possible gift.

Virat Kohli, though, was not particularly keen on giving away one of his bats either. The former India captain jokingly claimed that he did not have enough bats, while pointing out that Rohit had plenty to spare.

Taking the conversation a step further, Kohli came up with a playful bet. He suggested that whoever owned more bats between the two would have to gift one to the net bowler.

The suggestion immediately put Rohit Sharma in the spot. Realising that Virat Kohli was trying to put the responsibility on him, the Indian opener got up, burst into laughter and walked away. The exchange left the players and those around them laughing.

Kohli, Rohit looking to extend dominance in New Zealand

Having said that, the 5-game ODI series against New Zealand is a pivotal point for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with respect to the 2027 World Cup. Both seniors will treat this tour as a solid training platform for the big event.

And their past records suggest that Kohli and Rohit can own the series. In 36 ODIs played in New Zealand, Virat Kohli has scored 1897 runs with 57.48 average, including 7 hundreds.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma has accumulated 1134 runs in 34 ODIs played on Kiwi land with 2 hundreds. Clearly, India will rely on these two seniors as they take on New Zealand in this important series.
