Kohli, who now needs only one more century to surpass the record of 49 ODI centuries shared with former India teammate Sachin Tendulkar, is the leading batsman of this tournament with 594 runs – and Rohit with 503 runs. Are not far behind.
India have a strong fast bowling line-up in the form of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami and two excellent spinners in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.
But Rohit said he is well aware of the threat posed by New Zealand, which have defeated finalists in the last two World Cups.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is coming into form after injury and the Black Caps attack will be led by experienced left-arm fast bowler Trent Boult.
“They are probably the most disciplined team, they play their cricket very smartly, they understand the opponent very well,” Rohit said.
