(Source: Ranjith Kumar/NurPhoto via ) Eden Park in Auckland will host the opening ODI between India and New Zealand on November 4, 2026.
Rohit Sharma, who arrives in Auckland after on-field training on October 30, will look to contribute to a modest but stable record at the venue. On March 14, 2009, Rohit walked out to bat against New Zealand at Eden Park and produced his best knock at the venue. He remained unbeaten on 43 off 74 deliveries, hitting four fours and a six in an innings, which is still his highest score on the field.
This unbeaten 43 laid the foundation for a measured record at Eden Park. The knock came early in his ODI career and remains the only time he managed to avoid being dismissed at the venue. Rohit returned to Eden Park in January 2014 for another ODI against New Zealand and played a more aggressive hand.
He scored 39 off 38 balls, including four sixes and a four, before being sent off. The rounds in January 2014 showed a different rhythm than in 2009. Despite the lower score, the strike rate for this shot was significantly higher, reflecting a more attacking proach from Rohit at the top of the order.
Rohit’s third pearance at Eden Park came on 14 March 2015 when India faced Zimbabwe in a match of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. He hit 16 off 21 deliveries in this innings, including a four and two sixes. That defeat against Zimbabwe in 2015 was the shortest of his three pearances at Eden Park.
What is Rohit’s overall track record in ODIs? In his three ODI pearances at Eden Park, Rohit has amassed 98 runs at an average of 49.00 and a strike rate of 73.68. His highest on-field score is 43, which is not enough, and he has yet to score 50 or 100 points in this format.

He scored 12,120 runs in 291 ODIs at an average of 49.26 and a strike rate of 93.38, with 35 centuries and 63 half-centuries.
His highest ODI score of 264, scored on November 13, 2014 against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, remains the highest individual score in the history of the format. He scored 173 balls, including 33 fours and nine sixes, taking India to 404/5.
