Rohit is set to join the Indian team ahead of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. The first ODI is scheduled to be held at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday, January 11. The subsequent matches will be hosted in Rajkot and Indore on January 14 and 18, respectively.

Rohit had an excellent outing in the ODI format in 2025. Earlier in the year, he led the Men in Blue to the Champions Trophy title. After he was replaced by Shubman Gill as the captain in the 50-over format, Rohit played magnificently on the tour of Australia, winning the Player of the Series award. He also performed well in the subsequent ODI series at home against South Africa.

Ahead of the New Zealand series, Rohit played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Mumbai and scored a century and registered a duck in two matches. Fans are waiting with bated breath to watch the flamboyant batter return to international cricket against the Kiwis.
