Rohit Sharma has had a tough time against some of the top bowlers in the world. His numbers against left-arm seamer Trent Boult are not particularly impressive, having been dismissed four times in 13 innings, and a strike rate of 64.96. The Indian captain has also lost his wicket to Matt Henry twice in five innings, with an average score of 13.
Though Rohit Sharma has fared a bit better against Mitchell Santner, losing his wicket twice in six innings and striking at 94.31, Santner's recent form could still make him a formidable opponent. Even though he has only dismissed Virat Kohli three times in 14 innings, Santner has been able to contain the Indian great. With the Dharamshala wicket slightly two-paced, an interesting battle between the two craftsmen is surely on the cards.
Kuldeep Yadav and Tom Latham have had a competitive battle against each other over the years. The wrist-spinner has taken the wicket of the left-hander twice in six innings, with an average score of 48.50 and a strike rate of 112.79. Latham has yet to score a run against Mohammed Siraj, the No.1 ranked ODI bowler, who has managed to get him out once in two innings.
The Kiwis have a 5-3 lead over India in ODI World Cups, in nine matches, one of which was a no result. The two teams famously faced off in the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup, with the Kiwis emerging victorious. India have had a dominant run in the tournament, easily defeating Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The Black Caps have also had a good run, with wins against defending champions England, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands.
