Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian team is currently trailing 2-0 in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. India had to face defeat in the home Test series after 12 years. After the loss of this Test series, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is continuously being criticized. In such a situation, Shikhar Dhawan has come forward in support of Rohit and shown sympathy. Rohit Sharma’s friend and former opening partner Shikhar Dhawan does not consider New Zealand’s defeat as a matter of concern. Dhawan believes that it is unfair to question Rohit after losing just one series. He told India Today, “We do not feel the pressure you are talking about. Although there is pressure in the game, we are not affected by victory or defeat. It’s part of the game.” Shikhar Dhawan gave a big statement in defense of Rohit Sharma Shikhar Dhawan defended Rohit, saying, “I think this is neither a fair nor a practical approach to anything.” India had to face defeat against New Zealand by 8 wickets in Bengaluru and by 113 runs in Pune. With this, India’s streak of winning 18 consecutive Test series at home was broken. Dhawan, who retired from international and domestic cricket in August, said, “As a cricketer, we do not think like this. Rohit is a great captain. It is not just a matter of victory or defeat. The team has a bond with its captain and the team members respect him a lot.” The last Test of the India vs New Zealand series will be held in Mumbai from 1 to 5 November. India has to play five test matches on Australia tour from 22nd November. There is a high possibility that captain Rohit may miss the first one or two Test matches of the Australia series due to personal reasons. However, BCCI did not say anything officially in this regard while announcing the squad. At the same time, while giving a statement about India’s prospects in the upcoming Australia tour, Dhawan has expressed more expectations from Team India.

“Out of T20 mentality…”, Sanjay Manjrekar angry at this decision taken for Rohit Sharma in Pune Test.
I think he (Rohit Sharma) should proceed based on the overall quality and ability of the players – Sanjay Manjrekar Rohit Sharma and Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Team India suffered a humiliating defeat by 113 runs in the second match of the three-match Test series against New Zealand. After this match, New Zealand has won the series by taking a 2-0 lead. India has lost the Test series at home after 12 years. The team is facing a lot of criticism on social media. Some decisions taken by captain Rohit Sharma during the series are under question, including the decision to bat first in overcast conditions in Bengaluru. In the first innings of the first Test, Team India was all out for 46, which is the team’s lowest score in Test matches in Asia. Another decision that is being examined is to prepare a spin-friendly track in the second Test as it became a problem for India. Meanwhile, the cricket commentator talked about another decision of Team India, which did not benefit the team at all. Things like this should not happen – Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjarkar, while talking about the changes made in the batting order of Team India, has warned captain Rohit Sharma. In the fourth of the second Test, India sent Washington Sundar before Sarfaraz Khan after the fall of Rishabh Pant and retained the left-right combination. Manjrekar termed Rohit Sharma’s decision as disheartening and said that the Indian captain should come out of the T20 mindset. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNCricinfo said, The decision to make Sarfaraz Khan bat lower down the order and send Washington Sundar above him because he is a left-handed batsman, things like this should not happen. This is very strange. This is something that Rohit Sharma needs to be careful about. They should take care of T20 mindset. Left and right hand combinational do not need to match. I think they should move forward based on the overall quality and ability of the players. In the second innings of the second test, both Sarfaraz Khan (9) and Washington Sundar (21) could not play big innings. And Team India was all out at 245 while chasing the target of 359 runs.

IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is now under question, these 4 things will increase the tension of the hitman
India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.

Apart from this, if some reports are to be believed then Ravindra Jadeja will be the top retention of this franchise followed by Rituraj Gaikwad and then Mathisha Pathirana. That means Jadeja will be at number one while Rituraj will be at second and Pathirana will be at number three among the players to be retained. MS Dhoni will meet N Srinivasan soon The report also claims that MS Dhoni will meet franchise owner N Srinivasan to finalize the retention for the team.

It is now completely clear that Ravindra Jadeja will be the first retention of Chennai, followed by Rituraj Gaikwad. Mathesa Pathirana No. 3 has agreed to retention. Apart from them, Shivam Dubey, Devon Conway and uncapped player Sameer Rizvi can also be retained.
VIDEO: Virat lost his temper after listening to the fans, did such a thing in anger
Overall, Virat Kohli could score only 18 runs in both the innings of the Pune Test match. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: The Test series against New Zealand has been no less than a nightmare for Team India so far. The first test match was 8 wickets and now Team India had to face defeat by 113 runs in the second match. When Virat Kohli came to bat on the third day, he gave hope of victory in the Indian camp by hitting some good shots. But when he returned to the dressing room after getting out, his anger was on top of the sky. Virat Kohli’s anger reaches sky high While returning to the dressing room, Virat Kohli got angry and hit the ice box hard with his bat. In this video going viral on social media, Virat Kohli was going towards the dressing room after getting out. Then some fans said ‘hard luck’ and then Virat hit the box full of water bottles with force with the bat. Kohli could score only one run in the first innings of the Pune Test, while in the second innings he was out after scoring only 17 runs. Talking about the match, on the third day, New Zealand had advanced its innings with a score of 198/5, but the Indian bowlers had all out the Kiwi team within the next 57 runs. In this way India got the target of 359 runs in the fourth innings. Virat Kohli came to bat in the fourth innings when India had lost the second wicket at the score of 96. There Team India needed a big partnership, but due to continuous fall of wickets the team was on the backfoot. From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli, from Gill to Sarfaraz, everyone flopped with the bat in the second innings of the Pune Test and could not contribute anything. Despite losing two consecutive Tests against New Zealand, the Indian team remains at the first position in the World Test Championship table. India’s winning percentage is 62.82, but Team India’s two consecutive defeats have made its path to the finals difficult. Australia, which is in second place, has a percentage of 62.50. India will have to win every match from here to reach the WTC final.
