Former Indian captain Rohit Sharma is currently in sublime touch in the ODI format for India. After leading the Men in Blue to glory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, Rohit retired from T20 Internationals. He later announced his retirement from Test cricket in May 2025, choosing to continue only in the 50-over format. Since the conclusion of the Champions Trophy 2025, Rohit has featured for India only in the ODI series against Australia in October 2025.
In the ODIs played since that Australian series, Rohit has maintained impressive form, scoring one century and three half-centuries. His lone century came against Australia, while he also registered one fifty against the Aussies and two half-centuries against South Africa. Despite limited outings, the veteran opener has continued to show consistency and fluency at the top of the order.
India are currently locked in a three-match ODI series against New Zealand, with the series evenly poised at 1-1. The decider is scheduled to be played on January 18 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. Historically, the venue has been a fortress for India, with the hosts winning all seven ODIs played there so far.
