DTVHINDIBig news: BCCI in action mode after the crushing defeat against New Zealand, these 4 senior players may be discharged!
If India does not qualify for the WTC final, all four senior players may be released. (Photo Source: X) BCCI officials are not happy with the performance of the Indian team in the three-match Test series against New Zealand on home soil. The Rohit Sharma-led team could not put any kind of pressure on the visiting team and suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the series. This is India’s first whitewash on home soil in 24 years. A lot has been said in recent times about the future of Test cricket. However, after the defeat in this home series, BCCI feels that the time for massive changes is coming soon. Questions are being raised on the form of senior cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and according to a source close to BCCI, this could be their last home Test series. Furthermore, the source also said that the upcoming Australia series is extremely important and if the team is unable to qualify for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, immediate action will be taken and changes will be seen in the England series next year. If India does not qualify for the WTC final… A senior BCCI source said, the stock will definitely be taken and it may be of informal nature as the team leaves for Australia on November 10. But it has been a big defeat, but the Australia series is around the corner and the team has already been announced, so there will be no tinkering. The source further said, but if India does not qualify for the WTC final, it is possible that all four super seniors may not travel to the UK for the upcoming five-Test series. In such a situation, all four have probably played their last Test together on home ground.

Sachin Tendulkar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team suffered a crushing defeat on home soil on Sunday, October 3, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Visiting New Zealand defeated India by 25 runs in the third Test and made a 3-0 clean sweep in the series. For the first time since 2000, India has been whitewashed at home. Apart from this, New Zealand became the first team to be whitewashed in a series of more than two test matches. The Indian team was criticized a lot for this disappointing batting. Except Sarfaraz Khan, no other batsman scored a century. Tendulkar praised Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant for their half-century innings in the third Test and gave credit to New Zealand for the victory. He even said that the team should introspect. Here is Sachin Tendulkar’s post Tendulkar tweeted from the Was it a lack of preparation, was it poor shot selection, or was it a lack of match practice? Shubman Gill showed resilience in the first innings and Rishabh Pant was brilliant in both innings – his footwork made complete difference to a challenging surface. That was fantastic. Full credit goes to New Zealand for their consistently good performance throughout the series. Winning 3-0 in India is as good a result as you can get. Losing 3-0 at home is a tough pill to swallow, and it calls for introspection.

Anil Kumble strongly criticized India on the crushing defeat against New Zealand.
I think the pitch troubled the Indian batsmen – Anil Kumble Anil Kumble and Team India (Image Credit- Twitter India is being heavily criticized from all sides after being whitewashed 3-0 in the Test series at home against New Zealand after 24 years. Head coach Gautam Gambhir is also the target of fans. Meanwhile, former Indian leg spinner Anil Kumble has lashed out at the Indian batsmen. After losing the first two Test matches, the Indian team was expected to perform well in the Mumbai Test. However, the poor batting of Indian batsmen continued in the third Test also. Chasing the target of 147 runs, Team India was limited to 121 runs and lost the match by 25 runs. Speaking on Jio Cinema, Anil Kumble said that the Indian batsmen took the pitch to heart and hence such a poor performance. Kumble said, I think the pitch troubled the Indian batsmen. Barring a partnership in the second innings in Bengaluru, the top order could not bat in a single session throughout the series. There are a lot of questions that need to be asked and how can you come out of this. New Zealand has to be given credit – Anil Kumble He said that New Zealand is the team which has had a really good journey when it comes to India. Everyone has something to say for New Zealand. But this was a series in which he dominated. Yes, of course the win was by just 25 runs, but the way they handled the pitches, the conditions, the bowling, you have to give credit. Talking about the match, India scored 263 runs while batting after bowling out New Zealand for 235 runs in the first innings. After this, New Zealand scored 174 runs in its second innings and India got the target of 147 runs, which it could not achieve. For New Zealand, Ajaz Patel took 11 wickets in the match and won the Player of the Match award.
IND vs NZ: On a rank turner pitch, it seemed like Rishabh Pant was batting on an ordinary wicket: Saba Karim
Rishabh Pant scored 60 runs in 59 balls in the first innings of Team India’s Mumbai Test while he scored 64 runs in the second innings. Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: Former player Saba Karim has praised Rishabh Pant’s batting in both the innings in the third and final Test match between Team India and New Zealand played in Mumbai. According to Saba Karim, Rishabh Pant batted aggressively and even made the rank turner an ordinary pitch. Let us tell you that in the first innings of Team India’s Mumbai Test, Rishabh Pant scored 60 runs in 59 balls while in the second innings he scored 64 runs. In both these innings, Rishabh Pant did not spare any New Zealand bowler and continuously hit hard against all of them. However, Rishabh Pant failed to lead his team to victory and New Zealand won the match by 25 runs. During a conversation at Colors Cineplex, Saba Karim said, ‘Rishabh Pant batted brilliantly in both the innings. No matter how much we praise him, words always fall short. On such a pitch, Rishabh Pant was moving forward and playing shots. Always see very little in Indian conditions and on Indian wickets. It seemed as if Rishabh Pant had completely obliterated the length at which Glenn Phillips and Ajaz Patel were bowling. Only he did this in this entire test match. On a rank turner pitch, it seemed as if Rishabh Pant was batting on an ordinary wicket. Former player praised Rishabh Pant fiercely Saba Karim further said, ‘We saw the same in the first innings and the same was seen in the second innings also. If you completely eliminate the incoming challenge, things become much easier. Parthiv Patel had said that Rishabh Pant puts pressure on the bowlers due to which they get to play easy balls. This is very easy to say but very difficult to do. Rishabh Pant is always full of confidence. Even if the pitch proves helpful for the bowlers, Rishabh Pant is always seen batting brilliantly. He is really a special player.

Captain Rohit Sharma came to the defense of head coach Gambhir who is facing criticism, said- he needs more time…
Rohit Sharma was seen defending head coach Gautam Gambhir. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: India has faced a 3-0 defeat in the series against New Zealand on its home soil. Since then, head coach Gautam Gambhir has been the target of fans on social media. Let us tell you that during the entire series, the performance of the team led by Rohit Sharma with the bat was very poor. They could never put pressure on the visiting team. Kane Williamson and Tim Southee were not with the Kiwi team, yet they whitewashed India 3-0 for the first time in a Test series in India. This was India’s second whitewash defeat under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. Earlier, Sri Lanka had whitewashed India 3-0 in the ODI series. Therefore, questions are being raised on coach Gambhir whether he is suitable or not. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was seen defending coach Gambhir and said that the coaching unit is very new and it is the responsibility of the players to help them settle in well. Captain Rohit Sharma defended head coach Gautam Gambhir Rohit said in the press conference after India’s 25-run defeat in the third Test in Mumbai, they (coaching staff) have been good. He hasn’t got much time. It is the responsibility of the players to also help them get results, to ensure that we are in touch with their thought process. It is too early to judge anything right now. Rohit is still not sure about his availability for the first Test against Australia in Perth. He had informed BCCI a few months ago about the possibility of dropping the first match. Hence, India have included Abhimanyu Easwaran as a back-up opener and he is expected to partner with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Rohit’s absence. Rohit said that he is still unsure about his availability.

If India has to get the ticket for the WTC final, then they will not have to lose even a single match out of 5. Yes, if they lose even a single match on the Australia tour, they will be out of the race for the finals. Now the only way out for Team India is that they will have to defeat Australia at least four Tests on their soil, apart from this, even if one match is drawn, India can get the ticket for the final. If India wins four Test matches against Australia and loses one, they will have a maximum of 64.03 percent points in their account.

Rohit called himself the culprit of the defeat, said- My performance as captain and batsman…
Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: For the first time in 24 years, New Zealand gave India a whitewash in a Test on home soil. The hosts performed very poorly with the bat throughout the series and resulted in an embarrassing 3–0 series defeat. Senior batsmen – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in six innings, raising questions over their future in the longest format. After the game at the Wankhede Stadium, the Indian captain admitted that, he faced a very tough time with the bat and was very mediocre even as a captain. His decision to bat first in the first Test in Bengaluru backfired and the team was all out for just 46 runs in the first innings. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement after the series defeat against New Zealand Regarding this defeat, Rohit said that, we have been playing on these pitches for 4-5 years, but in this entire series we could not perform better with the bat. In a way, Rohit Sharma has also taken responsibility for the defeat, but at the same time he said that we did not perform well collectively and this is the reason for these defeats. “Yes, of course, you know it is never easy to lose a series or lose a Test,” Rohit Sharma said at the post-match presentation ceremony. This is something which is not easily digestible. Again, we did not play our best cricket, we know that and we have to accept that. They (New Zealand) performed much better than us. We made a lot of mistakes and we have to admit it. We did not score enough runs in the first innings (in Bengaluru and Pune) and we fell behind in the game, here we got a lead of just 30 runs, we felt we were ahead, the target could have been achieved too, but we should have performed better. Had to do.” He further said, “You also want runs on the board, that’s what was going on in my mind, it didn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t feel good. I have certain thoughts in my mind when I go to bat, but in this series, it didn’t happen and it’s disappointing for me. Pant, Jaiswal and Gill showed how to bat on these pitches, you have to be ahead and active, we have been playing on such pitches for the last 3-4 years, we know how to play, but in this series I failed to do so and it hurt. Also, I was not at my best with the bat and as captain, this is something that will bother me, but we did not perform well collectively and that is the reason for these defeats.
