Pujara Predicts 2-2 Draw in India-New Zealand ODI Series Amid Squad Changes
Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara predicts the upcoming five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will end in a 2-2 draw, citing mid-series squad changes that may give New Zealand a slight advantage. India will field different teams in the first three and last two matches, with key players like Shubman Gill and KL Rahul absent in later games. Pujara also expects at least one match to be washed out due to rain and believes Virat Kohli has a higher chance than Rohit Sharma to score a century in the series.
