‘When Rishabh Pant is at the crease, everyone is scared’, this player of Kiwi team praised the wicketkeeper fiercely.
Rishabh Pant (Pic Source-X) New Zealand registered a historic 3-0 win against India in the Test series in India. Ajaz Patel played a big role in this victory of Kiwi team. Now Ajaz Patel believes that Team India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was his main target during the series. Rishabh Pant was seen fighting alone for India in the third test. The hosts had scored 263 runs in the first innings, in which Pant contributed 60 runs, while the Indian team was bowled out for 121 runs in the second innings. In this, Pant played an inning of 64 runs in 57 balls. As long as he was on the field, the problems of the opposition team increased. After winning the series, Ajaz Patel praised Rishabh Pant and said about his ability, when Rishabh Pant is at the crease, everyone is scared. We have made Rishabh Pant the biggest target in this series. He comes in the middle and yet is not afraid. No matter what, he plays his game. His thinking is that as long as you are at the crease, you do whatever you want to do. If you get out there is no problem. Ajaz Patel remains the third leading wicket taker In a series where the Indian batting top order scored less than 200, Pant single-handedly scored 261 runs at an average of 43.50 and a strike rate of 90. In this series, Ajaz Patel took a total of 15 wickets at an average of 23.80. With the loss of this series, the Indian team’s chances of reaching the WTC final have suffered a setback. India has slipped to second place. Its percentage is 58.33 percent. Australia is at first position with 62.50 percent.

New Zealand won this important match by 25 runs. Team India performed disappointingly in this test series and many people have criticized them heavily. Let us tell you that New Zealand won the three-match Test series against Team India by 3-0. In this test series, New Zealand players performed tremendously and won the hearts of all the fans. Team India players failed to leave their mark. Not only this, after losing the third test, Team India has made 5 disappointing records in its name. Today we will tell you about these five disappointing records. 1- Lost Test series for the first time against New Zealand at home Team India (Photo Source: Before this series, Team India had not lost a single test series against New Zealand. New Zealand won the first Test match played in Bengaluru and took a 1-0 lead. Even in the Pune Test, the Kiwi team performed brilliantly and took a 2-0 lead.

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.
IND vs NZ 3rd Test: Team India whitewashed on home ground after 24 years, these records were made during the match
Ajaz Patel (Photo Source: New Zealand has created history by whitewashing India in the Test series in India. For this reason, Team India’s hopes of qualifying for the WTC final have suffered a setback. To avoid a clean sweep, India was given a target of 147 runs. Rohit Sharma played some good shots as soon as he came, but he left on the score of 13. After this, there was such a flurry of wickets falling that Team India lost its five wickets for 29 runs. Indian batsmen looked helpless in front of the spinning balls of Ajaz Patel. India could score only 121 runs and were all out. Rishabh Pant played an inning of 64 runs for the team in the second innings. India faced a whitewash in a Test series at home after 24 years. Many figures were also made during this match. The most important statistics of the last match of IND vs NZ Test series are given. 6 – Ravindra Jadeja took his 16th fifer in Test cricket and became the sixth-highest fifer for India in Test cricket, surpassing the late Bishan Singh Bedi. 1 – Veteran Ravindra Jadeja took two fives in the same Test for the first time in his career. 5 – Jadeja became the fifth player to score 25 fifty plus scores and take 15 fifties in his Test career. Apart from this there are Ian Botham, Shakib Al Hasan, Daniel Vettori and Kapil Dev. 33.97 – Rohit Sharma’s batting average as an opener-captain in Test cricket. Of all the opener-captains with a minimum of 1200 runs, only Kraigg Brathwaite and Michael Vaughan have a lower average than Rohit. 91 – Rohit Sharma scored runs in 6 innings in this series. Among all Indian captains who have batted in the top 7, and batted a minimum of 6 innings in the same Test series, Rohit’s 91 runs are the fourth lowest. 1 – Ajaz Patel’s 25 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai are the most taken by any visiting bowler at any ground in India in Tests. He broke Ian Botham’s record of 22 runs in the same stadium. 1 – Ajaz Patel’s three wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai are the joint-most by any visiting bowler at any ground in India in Tests. He equaled Ian Botham’s record of three at the same stadium. 1-Like Jadeja, Ajaz Patel also took five wickets in both the innings of the Test for the first time in his career. 2 – Ajaz Patel’s three fivers at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai are jointly second among all bowlers at that particular ground. Sir Ian Botham and Ravichandran Ashwin both have the same number of bowlers, while Pragyan Ojha is the only bowler with four. 2 – Ijaz became the second bowler in India to take 10 wickets twice on the same ground in Test matches. The only other player who took 10 wickets in two matches in Delhi is Anil Kumble. Incidentally, Patel took all 10 wickets in an innings in Mumbai…
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.
IND vs NZ: The ball hit the stumps but Ravichandran Ashwin was not out, you also watch the video
New Zealand defeated India by 25 runs in the third and final Test match played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Ravi Ashwin (Pic Source-X) New Zealand defeated India by 25 runs in the third and final Test match played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Let us tell you that Team India needed 147 runs to win this match but the hosts were all out for 121 runs. In this match, Ravichandran Ashwin narrowly escaped being out but he could not use this opportunity well and returned back to the pavilion after scoring only 6 runs. Glenn Phillips, who came in the 27th over of Team India’s second innings, bowled a very good ball which was defended by Ravichandran Ashwin. However, the ball hit his bat and started going towards the stumps. Indian players also immediately started trying to stop the ball with their bats. The speed of the ball slowed down but it hit the stumps. The most surprising thing was that despite the ball hitting the stumps, Bails did not fall and Ravichandran Ashwin got a lifeline. However, Ravichandran Ashwin could not take advantage of this opportunity and gave his wicket to Glenn Phillips in the 29th over of India’s innings. Here’s the video: Lucky Ashwin 😆 Bails stay firm despite the ball hitting the stumps!#INDvNZ #IDFCFirstBankTestTrophy #JioCinemaSports pic.twitter.com/aUksRPZHJe — JioCinema (@JioCinema) November 3, 2024 In the second innings for Team India, Rishabh Pant batted brilliantly and scored 64 runs but the best player failed to lead his team to victory. Apart from Rishabh Pant, no other player could bat well for the hosts in this match. Washington Sundar scored 12 runs while captain Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring 11 runs. For New Zealand, Ajaz Patel bowled lethally and took 6 wickets in the second innings while Glenn Phillips took three wickets. With this victory, New Zealand won the three-match Test series 3-0. While on one hand Ajaz Patel won the Player of the Match award, on the other hand Will Young won the Player of the Series award. Team India batted very poorly in this entire series due to which they had to face defeat. If we talk about Ravichandran Ashwin, in this series he could neither do wonders with batting nor with bowling.
