India captain Shubman Gill defended opener Rohit Sharma's low scores in the recent ODI series against New Zealand, where Rohit scored 61 runs across three matches. Gill acknowledged Rohit's strong form in previous series but noted that converting starts into big scores is not always possible. Concerns about Rohit's cautious batting were attributed by assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate to challenging conditions and reduced game time following his retirement from some formats. India lost the series 1-2 to New Zealand.
