Rohit Sharma Out for Zero in 1st ODI: The start of the ODI series between India and New Zealand has been far from ideal for former captain Rohit Sharma, as he was dismissed for a duck, failing to score a single run. There were high expectations that Rohit would make a strong impact in the opening match of this five-game series, but that did not happen. It has been nearly three years since Rohit last experienced a match where he returned to the pavilion without opening his account. Kyle Jamieson proved to be his nemesis on this occasion.

Then, on the final ball of the over, he lost his wicket. Jamieson also bowled a wide during the over, meaning the scoreboard reflected one wide run and one wicket from the opening over.
