Indian cricket team’s experienced batsman Rohit Sharma can enter New Zealand tour with the intention of achieving a special achievement. The five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand is to start from November 4. Rohit has been selected in the Indian team for this series. The record of scoring an ODI century in New Zealand may be special for him, because till now he has not been able to score a century in the ODI format in this country.

However, calling this series the last chance for Rohit Sharma would be mere speculation. There has been no official announcement regarding his future or his next tour to New Zealand.

Despite this, the opportunity to score a century in New Zealand will be important for him in terms of personal achievement.

What is the record of scoring century in SENA countries?

In cricket, the term SENA is used for South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia. Scoring an ODI century in these four countries is considered a big achievement for any batsman.

According to the information given, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan are among those Indian batsmen who have scored ODI centuries in these four countries.

Rohit Sharma can also achieve this feat, but for this he will have to score an ODI century on New Zealand soil.

Rohit has scored centuries in South Africa, England and Australia

Rohit Sharma has played many memorable innings in his ODI career. He has ODI centuries in his name in South Africa, England and Australia. However, he has not been successful in scoring an ODI century yet in New Zealand.

In such a situation, the upcoming series will be an opportunity for them to fill this gap. If Rohit manages to score a century in New Zealand, he will join the list of Indian batsmen to score ODI centuries in all four SENA countries.

India-New Zealand ODI series will start from November 4

Information has been given that the five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will start from November 4. The last match of the series is proposed to be played on 15 November. During this period, cricket fans will keep an eye on Rohit’s performance.

Considering Rohit Sharma’s experience and ability to play in big matches, he will be expected to perform well. However, there is no guarantee for any player to score a century and the pitch, conditions and the bowling of the opposition team also have an impact on the performance.

Will Rohit be able to complete his wait?

Rohit Sharma will have a good opportunity to make a personal record on the New Zealand tour. If he is successful in scoring a century in this series, he can join the exclusive club of Indian batsmen who have scored ODI centuries in SENA countries.

At present it is too early to say that this will be the last New Zealand tour of his career. But it is certain that the achievement of scoring an ODI century in New Zealand will hold a special place in his career records.

Now it has to be seen whether Rohit Sharma is able to convert this opportunity into achievement or not.
