Why India Lost Series Against New Zealand: India had to face defeat in the test series against New Zealand. New Zealand defeated the Indian team in the first and second Test and took a 2-0 lead in the 3-Test series. In this way, India had to face defeat in the Test series on its home soil after almost 12 years. After the defeat of the Indian team, a lot of questions are being raised, but where is the mistake being made by Team India led by Rohit Sharma? Apart from the Indian bowlers, the batsmen have disappointed in the Test series against New Zealand. Indian batsmen were seen struggling against Kiwi fast bowlers in Bangalore. After this, the Indian batsmen had no answer to Mitchell Santner’s spin in Pune.
Till now the Indian top order and middle order have disappointed. Yashasvi Jaiswal definitely scored runs, but apart from this, batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli have disappointed. As a result, the Indian team had to face defeat in the Test series on its home soil after almost 12 years. This Indian team is missing experienced batsmen like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have scored a lot of runs in the top order, but now the question is who will take up this responsibility in the absence of these two batsmen?
Shubman Gill is batting at number 3 in the New Zealand series, but has failed to leave his mark till now, so which batsman should be tried at this number? Apart from Shubman Gill, there are batsmen like Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan in the Indian top order. Sarfaraz Khan certainly played a brilliant inning of 150 runs in the Bengaluru Test, but other batsmen did not get support. Now Indian fans hope that the top-order batsmen will definitely perform well in the third test, so that a clean sweep on home ground can be avoided. If the Indian batsmen flop in the third test, then Team India may have to face a clean sweep on its home ground.
