Sarfaraz Khan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the fourth day’s play, through a video uploaded by BCCI, Sarfaraz said – This century felt very good, when I was celebrating my century, it felt as if the grass was not green but blue. It felt like I was in the sky, I was so happy. My dream was to score a century for India and it came true. Rishabh and I play aggressive cricket. We both play aggressive cricket and we were talking in the middle that we will help each other. Sarfaraz further said about Kohli – I have seen Virat Kohli since childhood and I always wanted to play with him. That dream came true at RCB, but playing with him in the Indian team was special. He kept saying to support your shots and play freely. He gave me a lot of confidence.

IND vs NZ: Five reasons which became the reason for Team India’s defeat, one decision of Rohit Sharma ruined the game

New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets in the first test match. IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, had to face a shameful defeat by 8 wickets in the Test played against New Zealand in Bengaluru. With this victory, New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series. In this match, India set a target of only 107 runs for the Kiwi team, which they easily achieved on the fifth day at the loss of 2 wickets. Now the question in everyone’s mind is that where did Team India go wrong in this match and why did it lose this match, let us tell you. IND vs NZ 5 Reasons Why India Lost First Test Match (Five reasons why Team India lost the first test against New Zealand) 1. Rohit Sharma’s wrong decision on the toss. When the toss of this match took place on the second day of the Test match, there were overcast conditions. Not a single ball was bowled on the first day due to rain. At the same time, when the game started on the second day, Rohit took a wrong decision after winning the toss. India chose to bat and the entire team was bundled out for only 46 runs. Five players including Virat Kohli could not even open their accounts. Rohit himself later admitted that there was a mistake in taking the decision after the toss. Rohit said after the first day’s play, “As a captain, I am sad to see the score of 46 runs because the decision to bat first was mine. But one or two bad decisions are made every year.” 2. Conway’s innings proved costly for India After India were bowled out cheaply in the first innings, New Zealand opener Devon Conway gave trouble to the Indian bowlers. Conway played an inning of 91 runs in 105 balls with the help of 11 fours and 3 sixes. He made a partnership of 67 runs for the first wicket with captain Tom Latham (15). Conway then took over the innings with Will Young (33). Both of them added 75 runs for the second wicket and put pressure on the host team. 3. Racine-Saudi partnership Apart from Conway, Rachin Ravindra (134 in 157 balls), who came to bat at number four, troubled the Indian bowlers. Rachin made a 39-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell (18) for the fourth wicket. However, when Tim Southee (65) came to support Rachin, both of them made a partnership of 137 runs for the eighth wicket. Thanks to the partnership of both, New Zealand scored 402 in the first innings. If India had managed to break this partnership early, then perhaps New Zealand’s innings could have been reduced to below 300 and perhaps the result of the match could have been different. 4. Rahul and Jadeja failed in the second innings also In the second innings of the test match, India scored 462 runs on the board due to the excellent batting of Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant…

IND vs NZ: Before the end of the fourth day of the first test, Rohit and Virat had an altercation with the umpire, know here what is the whole matter.

The fifth day of the game is going to be exciting for both the teams. IND vs NZ (Pic Source-X) Due to bad light on the fourth day of the first Test between Team India and New Zealand, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were seen continuously arguing with the umpire. Both these players were unhappy as to why the game was stopped. Let us tell you that in the first innings, the New Zealand team had taken a lead of 356 runs. However, Team India made a great comeback and scored 462 runs after losing all the wickets in its second innings. From the host side, young batsman Sarfaraz Khan batted brilliantly and scored 150 runs with the help of 18 fours and three sixes. Not only this, Rishabh Pant also supported him well and played an inning of 99 runs. Both of them did not spare any New Zealand bowler and continuously hit hard against all of them. Not only this, Virat Kohli also contributed 70 runs while captain Rohit Sharma scored 52 runs. New Zealand needs 107 runs to win this match. However, on the fourth day of play, only four balls could be bowled in New Zealand’s second innings. After this the field umpire checked the light situation. The field umpire felt that the game could not be played further in this light. However, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli looked unhappy with this decision of the field umpire. He appealed to the field umpire that a few more overs could be bowled but the result was not in favor of the hosts.
