  India vs New Zealand Live Score: Sourav Ganguly spills the beans on Rohit's retirement rumours

  Several reports recently claimed that skipper Rohit Sharma might take retirement from the 50-over format just like he did after clinching the T20 World Cup. Speaking on the ongoing rumours, former skipper Sourav Ganguly said, ''Why is there talk of Rohit Sharma's retirement? Why is this even a question? He won the World Cup just a few months ago. I don't know what the selectors are thinking, Rohit is playing very well.''

  ''India is far better than New Zealand. India played in the 2023 World Cup finals, won the 2024 T20 World Cup, and they are still unbeaten in this Champions Trophy. The same team will play,'' India Today reported quoting Sourav.
