With this century, the Indian captain went on level with former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting on 30 ODI tons. Rohit completed his hundred on the third ball of the 26th over when he pulled Blair Tickener for a single away to deep square.
This was also his second ODI ton against New Zealand as well. However, his joy didn’t last long as the Indian captain was undone by a Mitchell Santner delivery that kept low. His 101 off 85 balls was studded with nine fours and six sixes.
Earlier, Rohit put India on the driver’s seat with a double century stand alongside Shubman Gill, who too scored a ton.
