Shubman Gill Defends Rohit Sharma's Form After Poor New Zealand Series

• Rohit Sharma scored only 61 runs in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, with a highest score of 26.
• Despite poor performance against New Zealand, Shubman Gill defended Rohit, citing his strong form in previous series against Australia and South Africa.
• Gill stated that Rohit had good starts in the first two ODIs but couldn't convert them into big scores, which is not always possible for a batsman.
• Rohit had previously won Player of the Series against Australia and scored two half-centuries against South Africa, along with 155 runs in Vijay Hazare Trophy.
• India lost the series 2-1 to New Zealand, failing to chase 338 runs in the final ODI despite Virat Kohli's 124.

Why It Matters: Shubman Gill defended Rohit Sharma's recent form, attributing it to an inability to convert starts, not poor performance.
