Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan noted that it is not easy for cricketers to come back after a break. However, he backed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to come out all guns blazing against the Kiwis in the upcoming three-match ODI series at home.
The first ODI is set to be played at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara. Pathan, a T20 World Cup winner, backed Rohit and Kohli to use their experience and show no signs of rust while playing the ODI series against Michael Bracewell and Co.
Rohit and Kohli last played international cricket more than one month ago. The latter won the Player of the Series award against South Africa, which India won 2-1, after aggregating 302 runs across three innings. Rohit also fared well, finishing with 146 runs in three innings at an average of 48.67.
