Pujara predicts Kohli will outscore Rohit with more centuries against New Zealand

India's cricketing stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara expressed confidence that Virat Kohli will surpass Rohit Sharma in the number of centuries he scores against New Zealand in the forthcoming bilateral series. Pujara, speaking ahead of the matches, highlighted Kohli's consistency and temperament as key factors that could see him convert more starts into three‑figure innings.

The comment comes as both Kohli and Sharma are expected to play pivotal roles for India on New Zealand soil, where conditions traditionally challenge sub‑continental batsmen. While Rohit Sharma has already registered several centuries in recent overseas tours, Pujara believes Kohli's current form gives him an edge to outpace his teammate in this specific contest.

Pujara's endorsement adds to the pre‑series buzz surrounding India's batting line‑up, underscoring the depth of talent and internal belief within the squad. The upcoming fixtures will provide a clear measure of whether Kohli can indeed eclipse Sharma's century tally against the Kiwis.
