A commanding display from India against a very good New Zealand team. Shami was devastating with the ball and Rohit and Shubman made light work of a modest target. Win the series again! It’s off to a great start in 2023! #INDvNZ pic.twitter.com/bU2P9cL9oa

How many of you really think that Virat and Rohit can skip the last ODI and play the last Ranji League game for Delhi and Mumbai respectively – to prepare for the India-Australia Test series?
