DTVHINDIIND vs NZ: Aakash Chopra raised questions on this decision of Rohit Sharma, said- “There was no life left in the match, then bowling to him…”
There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all – Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra, R Ashwin (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has created history by winning the Test match on Indian soil after 36 years. Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings of the match. New Zealand had put 402 runs on the board in the first innings. India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs on the basis of brilliant innings by Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant (99) and Virat Kohli (70). New Zealand had a target of 107 runs to win, which they achieved easily. Jasprit Bumrah took only two wickets for India in the second innings. He bowled a long spell along with Siraj. After this, Ashwin was expected to come on the attack, but captain Rohit Sharma backed Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not happy with this decision of Rohit Sharma. Didn’t understand it at all – Aakash Chopra Ravichandran Ashwin proved to be very expensive in the first innings against New Zealand, due to which perhaps captain Rohit Sharma showed more confidence in Kuldeep and Jadeja. However, Aakash Chopra believes that this was a wrong decision, as Ashwin is the most successful bowler of the team and his record against left-handed batsmen is excellent. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all. I am not saying that if Ashwin had bowled, we would have won the match but we did not make him bowl. It was amazing and how. Why was Ashwin not made to bowl? I don’t have any answer to that because if you look at his numbers, he is the best bowler in your team. No one has taken more wickets than him in Test matches. Left-handed batsmen were playing but still you did not make them bowl. It didn’t make any sense at all. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said that by the time Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ashwin, the match was out of India’s hands. He said, The match was over. There was no life left in the match. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl. It would have been better if you had not made him bowl at all. This question should have been asked in the press conference after the match – ‘Rohit Bhai, what did you do?’. I thought India had definitely missed a trick and it was beyond me why they were not made to bowl.
We need to be more careful about Rishabh Pant: Rohit Sharma
Pant was suffering from knee swelling in the first Test against New Zealand. Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter In the first Test match between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant suffered swelling in his knee. Because of this, the player did not even keep wickets on the field on the third day of the game. It is noteworthy that Pant is suffering from knee problem after the terrible car accident in December 2022. However, after about 14 months after this incident, Pant had returned to competitive cricket, but now Pant’s problem has come to the fore once again. Also, it is not clear whether he will be able to recover before the second Test to be held in Pune or not. But captain Rohit Sharma made it clear that the team management is going to be extra careful regarding Pant from now on. Also, captain Rohit told that Pant’s injury was not very big, but the team management decided to keep him on the bench and not take the risk, because he is a very important player in the Test team. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding Rishabh Pant Let us tell you that after the end of the first Test match between the two teams in Bengaluru, Rohit Sharma said during the post match – Look, about his (Rishabh Pant) injury, I think he has undergone a major operation on his leg. So we all know what he has gone through. So, just have to be a little careful about where he is and what he is to us. Even when he was batting, he was not able to run comfortably. He was just trying to hit the ball into the stands. But still we need to be more careful with a person like him. Rohit further said- He (Pant) has undergone many minor surgeries, a major surgery has also been done on his knee. To be honest, he has gone through a lot of trauma in the last one and a half years. So this time is just about being more careful. So, when you are keeping, you have to bend your knee with every ball by lowering it. After this we thought the right thing for him to stay inside and then be 100% ready for the next match.
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…

“We want to build bench strength in bowling”- Captain Rohit Sharma told the future plan of Team India.
Due to injury, Mohammed Shami has been away from cricket for several months. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: When BCCI announced Team India for the three-Test series against New Zealand, four reserve players were included in the squad, which everyone was surprised to see. Three out of those four were fast bowlers. No one understood why three fast bowlers were kept in the team as reserve players. Along with Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav and Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Reddy has also been selected as reserve for the ongoing three-match Test series against New Zealand and they will travel with the team and will also be seen practicing with the players. Now captain Rohit Sharma has given a long term plan regarding this and said that the team has a strong group of batsmen and he wants to create a similar group in fast bowling also. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding traveling reserve players Captain Rohit said in the press conference before the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, “There are a lot of options when it comes to batting. We want to do the same in bowling also. We want to build bench strength where if anything happens to anyone tomorrow, we don’t have to worry. The captain further said, “We want to keep Mayank, Harshit and Nitish with us, because we are thinking of taking them to Australia, we want to build bench strength, especially with fast bowlers. We have 8 or 9 options, not just 3 or 4. Like batting, we want more options in bowling also.” “We don’t want to be too dependent on a few players,” he added. It is not right to do this. Looking at the future, we want to try to ensure that we get the right players.” This is why India has fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna for the three Test matches against New Zealand. Present as a reserve player for the series. Rohit said, “Tomorrow if we feel that he is ready to play that role (in place of the injured fast bowler) then he should be ready for it. Of course he played some matches before our announcement.

(Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India has to play a three-match Test series against New Zealand, which is starting from October 16 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

However, now Jasprit Bumrah is once again going to have a lot of responsibility. Let us tell you that Jasprit Bumrah is one of the important players of Team India and at present the experienced player is in tremendous form. After the final of T20 World Cup 2024, Jasprit Bumrah made a comeback in Team India in the series played against Bangladesh. He took 11 wickets in two Tests at an average of 12.82. If Rohit Sharma remains unavailable against Australia then Jasprit Bumrah can be seen captaining the Indian team. Before the Bengaluru Test, Rohit Sharma said about Jasprit Bumrah, ‘The brilliant fast bowler has played a lot of cricket and I have played a lot of cricket with him. He understands the game very well. He’s got a pretty good head on his shoulders. If we look closely, he has not captained much. Jasprit Bumrah has captained only one Test and a few T20 matches but when he is talked to about the game, he understands it all. They know what is needed most. When you are in a situation and you want your captain to come forward, I think Bumrah is one of them. Jasprit Bumrah is one of the experienced players: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma further said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has been in our leadership group for a long time. Players also get a lot of encouragement from his presence and he himself has been one of the experienced players.

However, before this Test series, Rohit Sharma has praised his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both these players started opening for Team India during the West Indies series in 2023. Rohit Sharma said in the press conference before the Test series against New Zealand, ‘Yashaswi Jaiswal is a very talented player. No matter what the situation, he knows his game very well. He is still a young player and it is very difficult to judge him. Although there are all kinds of materials inside them. They have faced very difficult situations and achieved success and that is why great players are seen playing for Team India. This was a risk we were ready to take: Rohit Sharma In the second Test match played against Bangladesh, Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted brilliantly and crossed the 50-run mark in the first three overs. Till now, no team has crossed the 50-run mark so quickly in the Test format. Not only this, the team had scored 100 runs in 10.1 overs, which is an incredible record in itself. Regarding this, Rohit Sharma had said after the match that, ‘The batsmen should play with this mentality and look to score as many runs as possible. This was a risk which we were ready to take because if you bat like this then the team can be all out even on a low score. But we were prepared even if the team was all out within 100 or 150. The first Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from October 16 in Bengaluru. After this, the second Test between these two teams will be played in Pune, which will start from October 24.

“We do not want to take unfit Shami to Australia” – Rohit Sharma gave a big update on Mohammed Shami’s fitness.
Mohammed Shami & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) India’s Test captain Rohit Sharma has given an update on the recovery of fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Rohit said that it is not certain whether Shami will be a part of Team India in the Test series starting in Australia from next month. Recently, when a report came out about Mohammed Shami that his knee had become swollen during rehab, he was very angry at the media. He had slammed the media by writing a post on social media and termed all the reports in which Shami was injured as baseless. However, now captain Rohit Sharma himself has told that Shami had a knee injury. It is not possible to say right now whether he will be able to play in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be held against Australia or not. Rohit Sharma gave a big update on Mohammed Shami’s injury. Rohit Sharma said in the press conference before the Bengaluru Test match, “To be honest, it is difficult to select him for the Australia series. He suffered another injury and his knees were swollen. This worsened his condition a bit and he had to start over. He is at NCA (National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru) with doctors and physios. We do not want to take unfit Shami to Australia. We are hoping that Shami can be taken to Australia.” Hitman further said, “It is very difficult for a fast bowler because he has missed a lot of cricket and then suddenly to perform at his best, it is not ideal. We want to give him enough time to recover and be 100 percent fit. Physio, trainer, doctors have prepared a roadmap for him. He should play some (practice) matches before playing international cricket.” Mohammed Shami has played 64 Test matches for India, in which he has taken 229 wickets at an impressive average of 27.71. India will play five Test matches in Australia from November 22. Fans are eagerly waiting for Shami’s return.
