Shame on you, now this 23 year old poor record has been broken.
India vs New Zealand: What has happened to the Indian cricket team? While preparations were going on to go to Australia and win the series, now the problem is of winning the Test at home also. If this had happened in one match, it would have been okay, but now we have to see a shameful day in two matches back to back. Now, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, what happened in the year 2001 i.e. about 23 years ago has happened. How will Rohit Sharma avoid taking responsibility from here now?
New Zealand took lead of 356 runs in Bengaluru test, got lead of 103 runs in Pune
The Test series against New Zealand started from Bengaluru. In this match, Team India was out after scoring only 46 runs in the first innings. In that match, New Zealand had taken a lead of 356 runs over Team India and this lead proved to be decisive in the end, India had to lose the match. There would be no problem if there was one match, it would be like the same story is being repeated again. Now almost the same fate happened in Pune also. While in the first match New Zealand took a lead of 356 runs, in the second match the lead was 103 runs. But to take a lead of more than 100 runs over Team India in two consecutive matches at home, teams from all over the world have had to make a lot of efforts. This is the reason why this has not happened in the last 23 years.
Had to see such a shameful day for the first time since 2001
Before this, the last time in the year 2001, Australia had taken lead over Team India in two consecutive matches. Then Australia had taken a lead of 173 runs at Wankhede, Mumbai and after this, the Australian team was successful in taking the lead of 274 runs at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. From then till now, this had never happened to India at home. But now finally we got to see this day under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Now it is not at all easy for India to save the match from here. Anything can happen, but for it to happen something has to be done which no one has thought of.
There is a possibility that the final of the World Test Championship may also be in trouble.
The big thing is that if the Indian team loses the Pune Test match, then not only will the series be lost, but the final of the World Test Championship will also be in trouble. The Indian team is currently on top in the WTC points table, but if this match is lost then there will be a huge loss. After that, we will have to go to Australia and win all the matches of the five-Test series. It is unthinkable that a team which is yearning to win at home will go to Australia and win all the matches. Therefore, the second match is still going on, it is necessary to win this match by doing anything, so that the series can be saved and the dream of World Test Championship final can also remain intact.
