IND and NZ: The test series is between India and New Zealand. India also suffered a defeat in the third match of the series. At this point, the Indian team lost the series 0-3 and had to face a sweep. The Indian team has performed very poorly in this series. It looks like the Indian team is not playing at home but abroad. India lost the third Test match by 25 runs. After 24 years, the Indian team has been swept by any team in India. The last time India swept South Africa was in 2000 against South Africa.
How was the game?
Talking about this match between the two teams, New Zealand captain Tom Latham won the toss and decided to bat first. He batted first and scored 235 runs and his team went all out. Then India came in to bat. He scored 263 points in the first game, leading by 28 points. However, they were all eliminated in 263 games.
The onus now fell on the Indian bowlers, who performed their duties well and defeated New Zealand by just 174 runs. Thus, New Zealand has set a target for India to win by just 147 runs. The target looked small at this point but the New Zealand bowlers set their sights big and India went all out and managed just 121 runs to win the match by 25 runs. Team New Zealand made history by winning this match.
Rohit Sharma surrounded by questions
India captain Rohit Sharma is under the spotlight in this series. The entire dominance of the Indian team under his leadership ended with the series ending. Twelve years later, India was beaten by any team in the India series and 24 years later, India swept their opponents. The Indian team now has to tour Australia. The Indian team will play a five-match Test series there. In order to reach the final of the World Test Championship, the Indian team must win at least 4 games in this series. This seems quite difficult.
