Rohit Sharma will lead the side,as they aim for their 18th consecutive series win at home. Apart from leading the side, Rohit will also play an important role with the bat. In fact, the Indian skipper is on the cusp of achieving a huge feat that no Indian before him has managed to achieve.

He needs to score 258 runs in the three-match series against New Zealand to score 1000 runs in the ongoing WTC cycle.
