CRICKET
The recent eight-wicket defeat to New Zealand at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru marked India's third Test loss at home since March 2023.
Following Team India's third Test loss at home in less than two years, fans have directed their disappointment towards Rohit Sharma. The recent eight-wicket defeat to New Zealand at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru marked India's third Test loss at home since March 2023, with previous defeats against Australia in Indore and England in Hyderabad. This stark contrast to Virat Kohli's impressive record, having only lost two home Tests during his seven-year captaincy, has led fans to reminisce about his era.
Kohli, renowned as India's most successful Test captain, suffered only two home Test losses against Australia in 2017 and England in 2021. Notably, he is among the select few captains in history to have never lost a series at home. Kohli's tenure concluded after the South Africa tour in 2021, boasting an impressive record of 68 wins in 40 Tests.
Criticism of Rohit's captaincy in Bengaluru began with his decision to bat under overcast conditions. Furthermore, the team selection drew scrutiny as India opted for three spinners instead of an additional pacer. The team's struggles were evident with two significant batting collapses, including being dismissed for a mere 46 runs on day two of the Test. Despite a commendable effort in their second innings, India once again faltered, losing seven wickets for just 54 runs.
Ultimately, New Zealand chased down a 107-run target comfortably, securing their first Test victory on Indian soil in 36 years.
Following the Indian Team's devastating loss in the first Test against New Zealand, fans on social media expressed their disappointment. Many criticized the team's captain, Rohit Sharma, for his perceived lack of leadership. Here are a few examples of the reactions:
