Rohit-Virat threat looms over New Zealand: NZ star says 'not this time'

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner is expecting a tough challenge when India’s ODI specialists Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma return to New Zealand later this year. Kohli and Rohit now play only ODI cricket and will be back in action when India tour New Zealand for five ODIs, five T20Is and two Tests in October-November.Santner knows the experienced Indian batters have enjoyed playing in New Zealand in the past. He hopes that will not be the case this time."It is going to be a challenge. They are still very good players as we have seen for a long time; masters of the ODI game. They have taken a liking to some New Zealand pitches in the past. Hopefully, not this time around," Santner told PTI."It is going to be a great series, no doubt. It is all a lead-up for the World Cup next year in ODIs.
