Eden Park in Auckland is set to host the opening ODI between India and New Zealand on November 4, 2026. Rohit Sharma, who arrives in Auckland having trained at the ground on October 30, will be looking to add to a modest but consistent record at this 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 one six in an innings that still stands as his highest score at the ground.
That unbeaten 43 set the tone for what would be a measured record at Eden Park. The knock came early in his ODI career and remains the only time he has batted through without being dismissed at this 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, with four sixes and one four among his scoring strokes, before being dismissed caught.
The January 2014 innings showed a different tempo compared to his 2009 effort. Despite the lower score, the strike rate in that knock was considerably higher, reflecting a more attacking approach from Rohit at the top of the order.
What is Virat Kohli's ODI record at Auckland in 3 matches?
Rohit's third appearance at Eden Park came on March 14, 2015, when India faced Zimbabwe in what was a 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup fixture. He scored 16 off 21 deliveries in that innings, with one four and two sixes among his strokes. That 2015 knock against Zimbabwe was the briefest of his three Eden Park outings.
What is Rohit's overall record at the venue in ODIs?
Across his three ODI appearances at Eden Park, Rohit has accumulated 98 runs at an average of 49.00 and a strike rate of 73.68. His highest score at the ground stands at 43 not out, and he is yet to register a fifty or a hundred there in the format.

What is his overall ODI record?

His highest ODI score of 264, made against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on November 13, 2014, remains the highest individual score in the format's history, coming off 173 balls and including 33 fours and nine sixes as India posted 404/5.
