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.
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.
“Rohit is a great captain” – His friends came out in support of Hitman
India has lost the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit. 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.

I pray that there should be some balance between bat and ball: Pat Cummins Pat Cummins further said, ‘I pray that there should be some balance between the ball and the bat. There could be some Indian spin wickets too. As far as I remember, we should have won in Delhi in the last tour. You get wickets on such a pitch but I don’t think our players will criticize it.
